Friday, May 25, 2007 Two Boozes: P.I.N.K. Vodka and Veev I'm not much of a hard liquor enthusiast (well, not anymore). I'd prefer a tasty, aromatic riesling or an ice-cold, refreshing Kirin to a shot of vodka (or even a hard-liquor cocktail) but these two new products were interesting enough to catch my eye. Product number one (image to your left): P.I.N.K. vodka is a vodka that takes out the Red Bull middleman out of energy drink + vodka cocktails by adding upper (caffeine and guarana) to a downer (alcohol). I definitely have misgivings about this beverage. Number one, what will something like this do to your head?! I'm sure it's no worse than a vodka redbull, though. Second, will the energy infusions affect the taste? Not sure about this one. They're supposedly using premium vodka, but who knows. Product number two (image to your right): Veev is a hard liquor made with Acai fruit. Acai is the trendy new superfood, given MAD PROPS by Oprah (seriously). Anyway, I'm just curious about the taste of this clear spirit. I wonder if any of the health benefits are present after fermentation and filtration (or whatever it is they do to make hard liquors)? Still not sure where to buy these suckers... Labels: alcohol, beverage, vodka 0 Comments (link) Midori |

Wednesday, May 23, 2007 Metromint Mint Water Simply put, I like this beverage. There are many unhappy reviewers on the internet who hate this drink and liken drinking Metromint to swallowing toothpaste or mouthwash. I, however, happen to like the taste of toothpaste and mouthwash. As a child I think I would have happily consumed toothpaste like food if it weren't for my mother telling me horror stories of all kinds of sick I would become if I'd do so. Ditto for mouthwash. So far I've tried peppermint and spearmint. Both were good, but I prefer peppermint. The water is unsweetened with just enough mint to make its presence knowns, but not enough to be overwhelming. This water is mos' excellent after meals...I prefer it to mints or gum. I have four more bottles sitting in my apartment right now, including one Orangemint and one Lemonmint. We'll see how those go over in due time. I bought my Metromint at BevMo! on sale for $1.29 a bottle. Labels: beverage, water 0 Comments (link) Midori |
