Sugar, cold, and stickiness

[Svartalf]

So, have you ever noticed sugar becoming extra sticky and extra strong (if brittle) in cold weather?

I was fixing me a green goddess, and I had to use the pincers to force the martini and chartreuse bottles to open, which is not usual.

Can't say that I've ever noticed...Will have to look out for that.
One thing I have got quite good at though is gauging the temperature outside by the consistency of the butter in the kitchen - as long as it's not too hot or cold I can normally judge it to within a couple of degrees. I need to get out more.

What's a green goddess?

I's a martini with chartreuse. Gin martini, vodka just doesn't taste right.
