Here’s a relatively uncommon drink that’s easy to mix, and quite tasty:
Hard Cream Soda
–1 to 1 1/2 ounces of vanilla vodka (a shot to a shot and a half)
–Ginger ale
Put some ice into a soda glass, pour the vodka, fill up with ginger ale, and stir. The vanilla taste masks the alcohol very well, so it’s a dangerous drink.
(The same thing with plain vodka is called a Moscow Mule.)

Last time I hit the vodka, I left my main workroom to have a cigarette, ’cause my biz-pard and the guy from Microsoft (!) don’t smoke.
I woke up the following morning, somewhat embarassed having passed out.
Vodka. Use sparingly. Respect it a lot.

Yesterday Marko teaches me how to make my dog throw up, and today he teaches me how to make myself throw up.
Awesome.

Simply use Grey Goose and mix with anything. Talk about a dangerous alcohol, never mind drink! I try my best to keep my liquor brown and in very sparing amounts.

Another Creme Soda flavored drink is Captain Morgan and Seven Up.
I can’t tell you the ratio because I just kind of pour, but mixed properly it’s surprisingly like CS.

I didn’t want to plant mint in the yard because I know how invasive it is. Then I discovered that we already have some growing wild.
If you can’t beat ‘em, julep ‘em!

Marko, any secret bourbon based drinnks? I don’t know if you’ve tried Knob Creek but it’s pretty good.

No, no it’s not. A Moscow Mule requires a lime, ginger BEER-not ale-and a copper mug, although tossing a penny or two in the glass will do in a pinch.
Sorry to be one of those interwebz nitpikkers, but the fact is: The lime, ginger and vodka all interact with the copper and make a really good, interesting drink. Vodka and ginger ale, on the other hand, is not.
Furthermore, I’d love to find a true Russian man that drinks flavored vodka.

I didn’t have the vanilla-vod, so I used good ole fashioned vod and about a half a teaspoon of (real) vanilla extract.
Was quite tasty, and could have been dangerous had I not stopped at FRIGGIN THREE before I knew it.
Thanks, though. I’m liking my vodka-beverages more and more.
