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

2 people recommended this item

Description

Three reasons I am mad about 3:
1. Flavor: clean but not without character.
2. Hangover: my pal at Wally's Wine and Spirits claims you can drink as much as you want and not get half the hangover you get with other vodkas. And he'd know (man, I want his job).
3. Sporty-ness: There are really two aspects to the picaresque nature of 3. On one hand, it's basically a sports drink, it has no sugars and is gluten-free (and, oddly enough, vegetarian?!), and i would totally hydrate with a 3 rocks. On the other, how badly do you want to clip the top to a climbing harness and hit the crag? I have a friend who says there's a window after drinking a redbull and two shots of espresso when a human can climb pretty much anything... add a shot of 3 and I think it'd be safe to remove the "pretty much" from that statement.

...Also, they have it at our corner store for $2 LESS than Stoli... Chin up, my smooth Russian pal, you know how the saying goes, "one is silver and the other's gold."

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

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

First to recommend

8 people recommended this item

Description

More than anything, I love the Belle Époque bottle and the fact that the liqueur is made from something so special and rare: elderflowers, which are picked by hand just a few days a year in the French Alps then transported by bicycle to the old-fashioned alembic stills of the St-Germain distillery. The liqueur is only 40 proof, so it's fine to pour over rocks and enjoy the pear-meets-lemon flavor and fragrance.

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.
