Friday Night Vodka-Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

I’ve completed my continuing education. My medical license will be valid for the next two years.

Time to relax...



I love you all...

[DUgosh]

1. I love vodka

Martinis, flavored vodkas, screwdrivers. I’m fresh out of vermouth right now but a good Sherry can substitute for sweet vermouth in times like these.

[Aristus]

5. I'm grooving on some Ketel One Citrus. Lemon and lime.

[safeinOhio]

2. good luck with the next 2 years.

got to be better, I hope.

[soothsayer]

3. What's the capital of the Kingdom of Nepal?

[Aristus]

8. Katmandu.

[soothsayer]

10. Correct!

[Atticus]

4. Excepting the botanicals and other flavor additives, is there really much flavor difference

between cheap and expensive vodkas?

[al bupp]

9. Can't say, cuz I'm a single malt fan

But I would bet it's marginal at best, just like it is btw top shelf single malt scotch & and the cheaper brands.

Cheers,
Al

[Aristus]

11. The notable differences between vodkas

have less to do with price than nationality.

American and Russian vodkas are the smoothest.

Polish vodkas are bland.

Finnish vodkas are pungent, like gin.

Flavored vodkas are wonderful...

[Captain Zero]

30. In bartender school it is taught that Vodka is

Odorless, Colorless, and flavorless.
So I never understood vodka tasting parties.

6. What is your vodka of choice? And a bit of reality,

Will covid be an endless, more serious cold? If intrusive, please disregard.

[Aristus]

12. Absolut Lime.

Wonderful neat or as a mixer.

We’ll beat COVID-19 eventually. It will just take time. We’re in uncharted viral territory.

[cachukis]

24. Stoly man, here. Comparison point.

Thinking that the fight against viruses is the fight against the zombies. They aren't alive, but utilize the chemical reactions of the force. The antibodies fend off the virus, but aren't able to fend off a return, possibly because of mutation. We have been able to contend with the cold, but not always the more serious flu. I suspect evolutionary response. Perhaps, covid 19 will inspire a revolutionary response. Enjoy your vodka when you can.

[Botany]

7. If you look @ Mitch McConnell's left hand in recent pictures is that pulmanary edema?

Could it be from congestive heart failure?

and is that an I.V. by his thumb on his right hand?

Stormy Daniels

3 oz. O.J.
3 oz. ginger beer
1.5 oz. dark rum (Myers)
1.5 oz. Jack Daniels (or any kind of sour mash bourbon)
over ice/ tall glass
squeeze of lime
grenadine splash on top ..... I'm out of it so I'm roughing it.

Who is gonna die first? Trump, Rush, or Mitch?

[Aristus]

15. Well, Mitch is definitely on anticoagulants.

That is almost certainly due to a pulmonary embolism.

If they all died on the same day, like JFK, Aldous Huxley, and C.S. Lewis, I’d be okay with that.

[Botany]

21. I know a lot more about oak trees then human health but Mitch's left hand looks pretty damn puffy.

It reminds me of what my dad's hands looked like during his last 2 months.

thanx!

[Mme. Defarge]

13. Listening to martini music

without a martini. What was I thinking? No matter, I can’t think of any sort of mood that would not be improved by a couple of hours of Paul Desmond accompanied by the likes of Dave Brubeck, Gene Wright and Joe Morello.

[Aristus]

17. Or Lionel Hampton.

Or Wes Montgomery.

[Mme. Defarge]

22. Wes Montgomery!

Or Jim Hall. 🍸🍸

[Captain Zero]

28. Wes Montgomery was from Indianapolis

He has an Eastside city park named for him.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

14. This is where your hiding!

Got a Halloween party thead going and would love to see you pop in!

[Aristus]

18. Can do!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

16. Vodka Cocktails.

[cilla4progress]

19. For me, always -

Tito's. So SMOOOTH!

Ginger beer and lime. Spicy and smoooth!

[Aristus]

20. Lovely!

[JDC]

23. Mixer or ice? Or is ice your mixer?

[Aristus]

25. Straight up.

Every once in a while, some Le Croix for the bubbly.

[Captain Zero]

29. You know Le Croix is bottled close to Flint, MI., right?

I mean that may mean nothing, but makes me edgy.

[DUgosh]

26. Taaka and Pinnacle

Accommodating and Affordable

[Aristus]

27. I'll take your word for it.

[hay rick]

31. I'm completing my continuing attitude adjustment.

Rum and coke. Do you have to take an eye exam to get your medical license renewed?

[nolabear]

32. Coming in late but boy do I get the CEU thing!

I thought about keeping my license after I retired and I still go to a few classes and seminars because they’re interesting but I’m glad I don’t have to lay out the money and keep malpractice insurance.

Congrats! Vodka well deserved.
