Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything. [View all]

One shot to get the party started. Usually two. But I just bought a bottle of the local product, Bainbridge Island vodka. I’m not crazy about it. Olympia Brewing’s vodka was much better.

Bainbridge vodka is sharp, acidic, and junipery, like Finland’s Reyka vodka. I couldn’t even finish my bottle of that. If I want juniper, I’ll drink gin.

Anyway, now a Delmonico #1. Gin, cognac, sweet and dry vermouth, and Angostura bitters. Nice.

Happy Friday, everyone. I love you all…
