Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

Two shots to get the party started. Now, a Mudslide; vodka, Kahlua, Irish cream, and heavy cream. Yummy!

My time with dessert cocktails will end when I run out of heavy cream. Then it’s back to the traditional: Martinis, Manhattans, Metropolitans, Old Fashioneds, etc.

I love you all…

1. Sounds yummy!

What’s your favorite cartoon?

[Aristus]

4. Long Haired Hare, starring Bugs Bunny.

The scene in which Bugs, disguised as Leopold Stokowski, puts arrogant opera singer Giovanni Jones through the wringer, are the funniest moments in cartoon history.

[True Dough]

2. Has consumption of a mudslide

ever actually caused a, you know, mudslide?

[Aristus]

5. If it has, my next drink is a Screaming Multiple Orgasm.

[Lithos]

3. What brand of Vodka

And please do not say Titos or a Russian brand...

[Aristus]

6. Smirnoff, which despite the name, is an American brand.

[Lithos]

17. Oh, I get it...

Not a problem.

You ever try Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka?

[Aristus]

18. Not yet.

I’ll take that as a recommendation.

[Lithos]

31. It's very different

More fitted for a brandy snifter - has a very unique (in a good way) taste.

7. Good evening

I've had company coming and going for the last month. So fun, but wore me out! I'll be back to routine after Sunday, and maybe I'll think of a question or 2. Happy Friday!

[Aristus]

9. Take your time. Rest. Relax. Recover.

I’ll be here.

[Chicagogrl1]

8. Trying to decide

What to partake of or not to partake? Tis the question on deck

[Aristus]

10. Welcome, Chicagogrl1, to the Friday Night drinking thread!

Partake of whatever makes you feel good. It doesn’t have to be alcohol. This is a ‘do your own thing’ safe space.

[Chicagogrl1]

11. Thanks Aristus

Decided on a Rye Boulevardier. Cheers!!

[Aristus]

12. I'll have to try that.

I don’t have any rye in the house right now. I usually try to keep some around to make a good New York Sour. Great cocktail. The red wine says ‘elegance’. The rye says ‘I will CUT you, bro!’

[Chicagogrl1]

19. It's my fav

Its basically a Negroni w/ Rye instead of Gin

Whats a NY Sour???

[Aristus]

22. Rye, lemon juice, simple syrup, and a float of red wine.

And an egg white, optional.

Excellent!

[Chicagogrl1]

23. Yum!!

[Aristus]

24. Yes, indeed.

[Chicagogrl1]

30. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[marble falls]

13. Where'd you leave the truck?

[Aristus]

14. ...

Truck?…

[marble falls]

16. Dammit. She's gonna murder me.

[OAITW r.2.0]

15. Speaking of Vodka Buzzes....can I introduce you to a

Pickle Back Dill Vodka and V8 Bloody Mary?



These 2 ingredients, plus ice, make the perfect Bloody Mary. No more mixing 5 different liquids and 4 different seasonings. A ratio of 1-2 or 1-3 vodka/mix is heavenly. Nothing else needed.

[Aristus]

20. Thank you for the introduction.

I dislike Bloody Marys intensely, unfortunately. It’s the tomato juice…

[ShazzieB]

33. Same here!

No thank you on the tomato juice.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one!

[Chicagogrl1]

21. Where do you get

V8 BM mix?? Never seen it. I’ll take a pass, though on the pickle vodka. Not a fan of pickles.

[OAITW r.2.0]

25. The V8 BM alone, is pretty delicious.

My son and fiancée brought me a basket of goodies for my birthday. The Dill Vodka and the V8 BM included. First I became aware of it. Bought 3 bottles at Walmart today.

Funny story, a few years back I wrote a comment to V8 on their website and suggested a co-marketing opportunity with Lee and Perrins and a lime juice producer. Not saying that they produced this because of my message, but it was kind of a marketing no brainer.

[WestMichRad]

26. Can the Oranganus trade up for better seats

… at the Basilica tomorrow?

[Aristus]

28. Of course!

You’re welcome…

[Bristlecone]

27. We used to go get dollar mudslide shots in college

At a place called “The Melody Lounge” in Tempe, AZ. We’d play pool, drink a beer or two and then get a package 6 pack to go for the walk home. Wednesday’s were great back then. Or was it Tuesdays?

[Aristus]

29. It was Wednesdays.

Halfway through the work week. Always a memorable day…

[niyad]

32. And we love you back. Sicilian or Greek olive oil?

I was not amused to see that others had the same thought I did this week. I went to Costco to get a bottle of Canadian and one of Irish whisky, ahead of more tariff bs. Apparently, many people had the same idea. Not a single bottle of either, not even an empty space. We do have several craft distilleries but, YIKES!!! I hope my wine holds out!

[Aristus]

34. Greek.

I’ve had my eye on a bottle of Crown Royal - Vanilla for when I finish my bottle of CR-Apple. I hope it’s still in the liquor case at Safeway.

I want this shit to end…
