Watcha drinking?

My plan for the weekend is to make some Moscow Mules.
I have been reminded that the last time I drank a significant number of these led to me making an uncharacteristically bold suggestion to a co-worker which eventually led me to becoming married. And also falling down a flight of concrete stairs. Not necessarily in that order.
It might be a fun weekend.

The mule is probably my favorite adult beverage. Refreshing, tasty zing, tipsy, and doesn’t make me feel full like a beer. Cheers!

I had some Filipino rum the other day, it was better than the Capt Morgan crap I remember from my college days.

Nicholas Idiart Blanc De Blanc Brut. Nice French bubbly for $17. Went well with grilled swordfish and a simple green salad.

These came from Wild Fork, but I often buy from a local seafood market. Pricey but high quality.

I couldn't wait for the weekend.
The great thing about vodka is that, despite what the marketing weasels may claim, there isn't really any such thing as top shelf vodka.
Obviously, mine was hand-crafted in small batches by Patagonian villagers working under the direct supervision of the Archbishop of Canterbury, but it still only cost $20!

What's to be top shelf about a spirit where the goal is to be tasteless?

People are willing to pay $30 for a bottle of iceberg water, so presumably they're also happy to pay $500 for vodka that's been filtered through a Russian oligarch's cat's digestive tract.
When I was a kid, we drank 'Vladivar vodka', distilled not in Vladivostok, but in exotic Warrington.

I mean, c'mon. Gin has a distinctive (and delicious) flavor, as do whiskies. Vodka is just for teh alcohol.
Which brings the question why are YOU daydrinking?

I'm thinking about drinking. Daythinking.
Incidentally, that Vladivar used to cost the princely sum of 1.20 GBP for a half-bottle, if memory serves, and could be conveniently secreted into the inner pocket of a Crombie overcoat, which were all the rage back then.

I asked about it at the local liquor store the other day, they didn't have it. So I told them my best friend in Virginia is going to mail be a bottle. THANKS LD!

LOL. That is what they told me it was, and the menu told me. 555. More than one, and I probably would have been spinning.
Ketel One Vodka, Ginger Beer, Lime Juice, Mint, Lime Wedge.

Bloody Mary mix. No vodka. It’s my drink of choice in the air.
