i'd say...classic!

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:02 (twenty-two years ago)

but only with a mixer of some sort.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:02 (twenty-two years ago)

It really feels like poison when I drink it (which is not very often).

― Rockist Scientist, Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:03 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, classic.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

When drunk as a challenge, classic.

When drunk as a drink, dud.

Yes, it's not the best straight.

Tonic or cranberry juice are fairly yum with it.

Vodka is right up there with water.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:09 (twenty-two years ago)

jess, do you keep vodka chilled? or keep it at room temperature and serve with a cold drink?

actually this can be posed as an open question to all vodka-lovers!!!

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:09 (twenty-two years ago)

(i was watching coronation st. tonite and janice battersby sed to les "i'll have some of that vodka, is it in the freezer?" and he said "yes"!!!! i never refridgerate it!!!)

Last summer around graduation time, a fine Saturday afternoon actually, I went to to Sainsbury's and purchased a cranberry-orange juice and a large bottle of Sainsbury's vodka. After three large glasses, I:

- Concerned the heck out of my favourite housemate.
- Locked myself in my room and put The Chemical Bros - Surrender on full blast
- Rolled out of my room 2 hours later
- Went to take a shower while blind drunk.
- moved from shower to bath.
- passed the fuck out in the bath
- drank most of the bottle
- can't drink vodka since without feeling mildly nauseous.

DUD.

― Barima (Barima), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:11 (twenty-two years ago)

i keep it at room temp usually. i try not to have booze in the house too often anymore, because it just ends up abused. my old roomies used to put it in the freezer.

gygax otm, I guess that's what I meant with my post 4 o clock comment. I like to get home to a house after a club and crack out the vodka, in a sort of NOW IS THE TIME FOR MILITANT DRINKING IN ORDER TO STAY AWAKE way.

x-post No that doesn't count as work, hence I finish tomorrow.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I keep mine in the freezer. Vodka, btw, is the diminutive of water in Russian. Classic on it's own, preferably accompanying a Russian meal, or mixed but never, James Bond notwithstanding, in a Martini which is made with gin.

Akvavit is better... it acutally has something like flavor due to the carroway seed. Vodka is boring and girlie.

― andy, Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I am spoiled by the fact neither of my parents drink vodka and there's a box of Smirnoff in my garage (slowly depleting)

Never heard of Kulov. I am out of touch.

The elixir of life. What I wouldn't give to be able to drink some vodka right now.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Gin is my weakness. G&Ts, Gimlets, Gin Blossoms, Martinis, and the one with pinapple juice and splashes of grenadine and soda. We call that last one a pink pussycat and I drink them 'cause that way, one way or another, I know I'll get some 'pussy'. This amuses me far more when I've had four or five of them than it does in black and white on the screen here but I'm too lazy to go back and erase it so I guess the cat's out of the bag, so to speak.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Gin trumps vodka but it makes me mean. I drink vodka and Diet Coke, totally gay but wonderful and drunkening.

― adam (adam), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 21:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll drink it straight (preferably chilled) or with any mixer except orange juice. The first time I vomited wilst drinking was during a screwdriver bender. If I smell the stuff I feel like I'm gonna puke.

I've been ordering extra dry Stoli-O martini's with an orange rind twist if they have 'em. Unless I want to look tough, in which case I just drink a whole bottle of vermouth and an olive.

Spencer, you shouldn't order "extra-dry" stoli-O martinis. Nobody's going to put vermouth with orange-flavoured vodka. Just order stoli-o up.

― antexit (antexit), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:04 (twenty-two years ago)

It's cool if you take ecstasy and mix it with tropical fizzy juice. Especially if it is stolen haha forgot about that bitch!
On it's own it's disgusting

― slopsymbolic, Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:05 (twenty-two years ago)

there is no vermouth in extra-dry martinis, is there? isn't "extra-dry" just for people who just want a big glass of cold vodka but are too embarrassed to say so?

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:07 (twenty-two years ago)

there really shouldn't be more than a few drops of vermouth in ANY Martini.

― Broheems (diamond), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:09 (twenty-two years ago)

(which is why I didn't get Spencer's "look tough" comment at all)

― Broheems (diamond), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:10 (twenty-two years ago)

vermouth seems to me like a way to look less tough, ie like less of boozer. it was fine that my friend's dad put away nearly a bottle of bombay a night because he had martinis and there was a touch of vermouth involved. hey presto, no drinking problem!

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

there are two types of vermouth: dry and sweet. sweet is used (again, sparingly) in manhattans IIRC.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:19 (twenty-two years ago)

there is no vermouth in extra-dry martinis, is there? isn't "extra-dry" just for people who just want a big glass of cold vodka but are too embarrassed to say so?

Not sure about that... I think technically it has to have a little vermouth if it's a martini at all.

I usually order my vodka martinis extra dry by telling the bartender to "just think about vermouth while pouring the vodka."

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:34 (twenty-two years ago)

the online recipes for extra-dry martinis say "just a dash" of vermouth. it's a ceremonial thing.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:39 (twenty-two years ago)

an extra-dry martini means to me (bartender in a former life) that cliched wave of the bottle over the glass without removing the cap.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:44 (twenty-two years ago)

dud. I felt really shitty one day after a number of caesars, which had far too much vodka in them. that put me off of it, until a few weeks later when my partner had a caesar in a bar and instead of a celery stick, it was garnished with a pickled, spicy green bean. Regrettably, I tasted it, and it was perfectly foul. Making it worse, in retrospect, was the man with the horrid cigar a table over.

A few days later I was quite sick(puking my guts out). To make myself sick in that horible time when you know you're going to vomit, but not quite yet, and you know it will all be so much better when you do, in fact vomit, I thought of a vodka-strong caesar with a green bean, which worked. Since then, I can't touch any vodka drink without immediately remembering desperately wanting to vomit.

A friend got me into gin and tonics, which I like to have in bars because they're an old lady's drink, or a 'panty remover'. heh.

also, I LOVE lime in most all things, which is really the only reason I drink Coronas.

what's a caesar? is that another word for a bloody mary?

From EYE Weekly

Move over, martini, Manhattan and margarita. Canada's favourite cocktail is the Bloody Caesar.

Bartender Walter Salin Chell created the drink in 1969 to celebrate the opening of a Calgary restaurant. He took the recipe for a Bloody Mary, replaced the tomato juice with Mott's Clamato and added a celery stalk as a stir stick.

Years later, he admitted he had no idea his creation would become a Canadian phenomenon. But Chell did more than create a classic -- he practically guaranteed the immortality of Mott's Clamato.

The famous tomato-clam blend was invented by an American, Duffy Mott, in 1962. Other companies produce a tomato-clam beverage, but Mott's registered the name. As a result, it dominates the market.

Surprisingly, 80 per cent of all tomato-clam cocktail goes down in Bloody Caesars... right here in Canada. Except for a few pockets in London, New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City and South America, no one else has discovered Clamato.

In Mexico, a favourite drink is Red Beer, what Albertans call a Red Eye --beer mixed with Clamato. Western sports fans often take the cans to the stadium and mix their own. A little is consumed "neat" and the rest is turned into Virgin Caesars. Bloody shame!

Spread plenty of salt and fresh-cracked pepper on a saucer. Run a wedge of lime around the rim of a tall glass, invert the glass onto the saucer and twist to coat the edge with the seasonings.

Fill the glass with ice, add a few drops of Tabasco, a splash of Worcestershire sauce and a dash more salt and fresh-cracked pepper. Pour in a hefty shot of vodka and top up with Mott's Clamato. Stir with a stalk of celery and garnish with the lime wedge.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 13 May 2004 01:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Vodka is what they drank on Olympus, methinks. Hence the brilliant yet fucked up hijinks those fools were always up to. Classic.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, 13 May 2004 01:10 (twenty-two years ago)

The Bloody Mary I'm enjoying right now has V8, tabasco, ice & el-cheapo vodka. No stirring or shaking allowed. This is good.

― jim wentworth (wench), Thursday, 13 May 2004 01:30 (twenty-two years ago)

WHOA, who knew Caesars were a Canadian thing? I love stumbling upon CanCon unwittingly. Mott's even sells premixed Caesars in bottles, like coolers, except with %12 vodka or something horrid.

yeah, the sidecar of Clamato with a pint freaks me out, but it's quite common around here.

What can I drink with vodka that could rehabilitate this godly drink for me?

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 13 May 2004 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Spencer, you shouldn't order "extra-dry" stoli-O martinis. Nobody's going to put vermouth with orange-flavoured vodka. Just order stoli-o up.

Actually, "extra-dry" usually means no vermouth (I'm rarely in the mood for vermouth actually).

seven years pass...

during my year in finland, '90, i was fortunate enough to find myself in someones apartment who had some russian vodka in the freezer (this was before the stuff was readily available in your local newsagent).

having only ever been a mixer kinda guy (my rave drink was fresh orange juice + a double shot, i used to tell myself it was so i got that extra kick from the vit c !) , i though what the hell, and downed a few shots straight.

damn, it hit the spot, but scared the fuck out of me.

tonight i have decided to revisit that experience.

i've had the bottle in the freezer for over a week teasing me .. and tonight in a moment of post-traumatic weakness, i have cracked the seal.

this could get nasty.

in an hours time could someone call me up and tell me to get to bed ?

im starting to agree with this. shots of akvavit (bommerlunder!) alternating with riga sprouts and/or peppered mackerel is a great way to get drunk.

― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Saturday, 27 October 2012 03:10 (thirteen years ago)

went to the specialist booze shop on the way home last night and noticed they had several Akvavits in which I hadn't noticed before... had some Norwegian stuff a decade ago which was A++ but the ones in the shop were all pretty expensive and I don't know the first thing about good/bad brands so I passed on them, but next time I walk past I might see if they have some Bommerlunder. any other recommended brands of Akvavit?

Bought some more Babicka (Czech wormwood-infused vodka) instead:
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_nieIGWiCsnw/Skef1lslVGI/AAAAAAAAEBw/7m01yFdsoXk/babicka1.jpg
which for me a bit too harsh to drink neat (good ice-cold but we have a tiny freezer so no room for vodka to live there permanently) but adds interesting flavour for mixing, but the other half thinks is great for drinking neat and too nice to mix, so I have to wait until he's not looking, heh heh
