Grey Goose Vodka
7 people recommended this item
Description
Here's the thing about Grey Goose: I like it just fine but I don't feel good about drinking it. Why not? Perhaps the question is better posed "Pourquoi pas?" and directed toward a French friend, who will tell you that personne in France drinks the stuff. Not like the marketing people from Grey Goose who prominently display the French flag on the bottle want you to believe. So, sure, I'll pour Goose over rocks and splash a little soda in there. But it makes me feel bought and sold. And not in a good way.

3 Vodka
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
I was skeptical about how 3 would taste at first, but that is all a thing of the past. It is now one of my favorite premium vodkas now, and affordable at that. The main thing that made me skeptical about 3's potential flavor, is that it's distilled from soy. Vodka is produced from grain, potatoes, molasses, beets, and a variety of other plants, but generally not soy. Soy has become so popular as a foodstuff over the past several years, however, that it was bound to happen eventually. Anyway, because 3 is distilled from soy it is: carb-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free! Those were my other reasons for trying it. It has the mostly "neutral" flavor that one looks for in a vodka. So, it works well in cocktails, general infusions, etc. One stand out characteristic, however is a slight "sweetness", which makes gives 3 its own character. I highly recommend this one.

Camitz Sparkling Vodka – The original truly Sparkling Vodka, Super Premium 40% alc./vol. Product of Sweden.
First to recommend
Description
Club soda, I guess this is goodbye. It's not you, it's me. I'll be frank, I've found a completeness in the companionship of Camitz bubble vodka that has left my personal feelings for you rather, well, flat.
I'm willing to share custody of Ice, you can have weekdays but I want to chill out with weekends and holidays.

Stainless Steel Sipping Spoons, Set of 6 - Sur La Table
First to recommend
Description
Stir, sip, repeat: This, friends, is how to enjoy an unstrained cocktail... like my newest favorite concoction/creation, the Venice Mule. Keep the Moscow Mule's vodka and lime (bitters are optional here), but rather than than ginger ale go with crushed ginger root, soda water and simple syrup... and whatever else you can find in the fridge (lemongrass, chili pepper, strawberry, peach, cilantro, mint and lemon have all made special guest appearances). That's the Venice part: half hippietarian, half scavenger, still a little bitter.

Krups-Heineken BeerTender

Description
Home tap for your mini keg. Does anyone other than Heineken make mini kegs of this size? I feel like I've seen them for some Japanese beers... I feel like pouring friends beers from this thing might earn me decent tips. I wonder if they have a backpack version...

St Germain Elderflower Liqueur
8 people recommended this item
Description
St. Germain, c'est chouette. Made of Elderflowers from les Alpes, it adds perfumed complexity to martinis, especially those with fresh juice, and to tequila and rum cocktails. And to breakfast, cheris. After all, a liquor named for the most bohemian arrondissement should be enjoyed in nothing but a bohemian manner.

Three Vodka 750 ml - Wally's Wine and Spirits
First to recommend
Description
The guys at Wally's claim 3 makes you hangover-proof. I am not prepared to comment on that because I am such a lightweight that my drinking must stop before there is grave hangover danger. Extra healthy hippie tip: Make it a superfood by shaking with kombucha
Also, I like how you can attach the bottle to your climbing harness.

Deus Brut Des Flandres 750ml
First to recommend
Description
A Belgian ale made like champagne. Crisp, bubbly and worthy of the long, inevitable and likely incoherent conversation about whether to call it chambeer or beerpagne.
