I can't drink energy drinks-I have bad reactions to caffeine. :-) [Reply]

I used to be snobby about vodka. Wouldn't go lower than Absolut and preferred Kettle One, Belvedere or Tito's.
A friend finally convinced me to try New Amsterdam about 6 months ago and I wish I had done it way sooner. Could have saved a lot of money. IMO it's actually better than the high end brands. Every time I splurge now and buy the expensive stuff it's never even as good as New Amsterdam.
Haven't seen this Pink Whitney around here, will have to keep an eye out!
It shows up in fits and spurts and sells like crazy. Who knew there were so many pink lemonade fans? [Reply]

Ah yeah this ain't for you then. You might look at the sparkling ice line of drinks. They have a bunch of flavors and they're typically not overpowering and zero calories. Every one I've had tastes pretty good. [Reply]
In January I pretty-much gave up anything with bubbles in it and have zero regrets... ZERO... It doesn't me I don't partake of adult beverages, I just do my level best to serve myself/order ones that have no bubbles. It has been awesome.. [Reply]
A kinda dirty vodka martini, a double, made with the Costco vodka and 5 (YES FIVE!!!) Costco garlic/jalapeno olives. I make mine my way (fuck what other people think), I put it in a stemless wine glass, and the double-shot (more like a shot-and-a-half) is topped off with ice and water.

Ahh yes, I don’t have a membership there because the closest one is about 30 minutes away, but my sister picked me up a bottle of the Kirkland’s blend and it was damn good. I’ve heard they are just buying from Grey Goose and bottling it under their brand and I believe it. It was damn smooth. [Reply]

I heard the same thing. We did a side-by-side taste test, and if it's not GG, it's darn close. Close enough to relaly appreciate the Costco price. [Reply]
Going with some Boru Irish vodka tonight on the recommendation of a colleague.
Only Irish vodka sold in the US. 5 times distilled from Irish grains and spring water. Let me tell you, this is downright lovely. Dirt cheap, $12.99 for a 750 ML bottle. Ridiculously smooth. Going about 60/40 with club soda and it’s going down like water. Don’t buy expensive vodka anymore, it’s not worth it. Boru and New Amsterdam have you covered.
Club soda, ice and a lime wedge. A nice little platter of Italian meat and some good cheese from our local shop. Dog and cat lying in between me and the wife on the balcony. Kids out cold in their rooms. Looking up at the stars after a 55 hour week making bucks.
