Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now a Kamikaze. Vodka, Cointreau, and lime juice. Yummy!

Hope everyone is enjoying a pleasant Friday evening.

I love you all…

Although, there are at least three other books out there on the subject.

The piccolo trumpet. I absolutely love it. It’s impossible not to feel happy when listening to it. It’s just so joyous.

The trumpet interlude in “Penny Lane”, by The Beatles. The grand tour music from the soundtrack to “The Little Mermaid”. There are other examples.

Happiness made out of brass. The piccolo trumpet.

Not all vodkas are tasteless. There are flavored vodkas out there. I have a bottle of whipped-cream flavored vodka in the freezer.

There are unflavored vodkas that definitely taste bad, though. Reyka, for example. It is bitter, astringent, and tastes of juniper. But if I want that, I’ll drink gin. I also recently bought a bottle of locally distilled vodka from Bainbridge Island. It’s even worse than Reyka. I’m never buying it again. Olympia Brewery’s vodka is a much better local version.
