Happy Friday, everyone!

We made it to the last Friday in June, we are about to pass the half-way mark for 2014, and we think that is a reason to celebrate.

So today, we will celebrate with a delicious liqueur whose manufacture involves French men going into the Alps, gathering flowers, and riding a bicycle down the mountain in order to deliver the blossoms to be made into alcohol.

How old timey and fabulous, right? Don’t you just feel like you have been transported into the French version of Heidi?

Friday Liquor Spotlight #12: Stoli Flavored Vodka!

SV2

Happy Friday Everyone!

Flavored vodka. We have a rather mighty love-hate relationship with you. Most brands are far too sweet, and some of the so-called “flavors” are so ridiculous (cake? s’mores??) that we nearly go into rage blackouts when we think about it.

But occasionally, a little flavored vodka can really be delicious–but only if you buy Stoli. All other brands must bow before their greatness.

So let us do some educating, if you will.
