Tuesday June 28, 2011 - Cocktail Hour


I attended a small backyard gathering the other night for a neighbor, Jessica, who's leaving for New York. She has everything arranged to be moved but she isn't going to pack up any open bottles of booze. She's a flavored vodka fan and had about 8 bottles to give away. She wrapped the bottles up in newspaper and sealed them shut with masking tape. We had to pick without knowing what we were getting. I was able to figure out the bottle of Shaker's because I could tell the shape of the bottle by touch. It turned out to be raspberry flavored. She had a bottle of root beer flavored vodka which she didn't even wrap up because she didn't think anyone would want it. The brand name is Three Olives. I tried it and to my own surprise I LOVED it. It became mine and I'm drinking it right now...
