Think my wife uses the same or very similiar recipe. I'll use it in my coffee in the morning, but during the week need to remember to go lite, or a couple cups of coffee and I'm feeling to good to trade.
http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Story?id=3201973&page=1 Are you a vodka snob? Do you routinely buy a pricey brand over a less expensive one? If so, you're part of a growing trend. "20/20" wanted to see what all the fuss was about ⦠so we conducted a little test. And no vodka brand has made a bigger splash than the $30 a bottle super-premium brand Grey Goose. A Grey Goose commercial says it is "rated the best-tasting vodka in the world." A little strange, given that the U.S. government's definition of vodka, said DeGroff, is: "Tasteless, odorless, colorless ⦠You are buying the bottle. You're buying the sexiness. You're buying the whole package." The first test involved tasting the vodkas "neat," which means straight and at room temperature. Kay thought vodka No. 1 tasted "very spicy. It burns the tongue." Gurock said vodka No. 2 "was very light, it went down beautifully." Gliksman thought vodka No. 3 "has a really nice aroma." And Glenn McGinness said, "I'm guessing that five is the Grey Goose." After a half hour of sniffing and sipping, five of the six testers agreed on one thing: They all hated vodka No. 1. Freeland described it as "kind of thick and not smooth at all. Something I would never ever buy." Kay called it her "least favorite one, for sure." The Surprising Results Finally, the moment of truth. Klemm revealed that vodka No. 1 -- the group's least favorite -- was Grey Goose. Everyone was flabbergasted. "No way!!!" said Freeland. "I can't believe that!" exclaimed Kay. "I mean I'm really very loyal to it. And I just totally dismissed it." "I'm shocked," said Gliksman. "I really am shocked, because it was bad." "I guess that says something about the marketing then, doesn't it?" said DeGroff. "They're not relying heavily on their taste buds. They're relying more heavily on the perceived value, or the status." _____________________________________________ Snobbiness belongs to the wine people, It is pathetic to the vodka people
Glenmorangie 18yr and Oban 14yr Scotch. And the new Jonnie Walker green label is starting to grow on me.
Hey bro---Don't want to rain on your parade, but I think you should try the Sonic diet vanilla Dr. Pepper before you make any final decisions about your favorite drink. That 2 to 4 happy hour kicks ass, huh??
When I was a kid using fake ID's to get in clubs in NY i loved Mellon Balls......I tried one for old time sake a few weeks ago and almost puked...wtf was i thinking? oh well...Sam Adams Boston Lager for this old man..best beer in the world and trust me , i have sampled them all.
Mellon Balls? I thought you had more taste than that as a youth! My favorite shot is a water moccasin (crown, peach, sour). I would think you would be a Seag 7/Crown/VO-Manhatten kind of guy? Newcastle is my favorite beer. I haven't tried that Boston Lager yet, I'll have to give it a shot this weekend.
