We just order a hot room service breakfast and eat it on our balcony.

 

We love to do this also.

 

Nothing like breakfast on the balcony at sea.

This is been in the back of my liquor closet at least 15 years. Not sure why I never drank it. 

 

Hold on to that, you can't get them anymore here

It is still sealed. 
 

Hold onto it because it’s valuable, because it’s good, or just because it can’t be replaced?

Just for grins, doubt it's worth anything.  Just a conversation piece.

 

Here us the new label. No more Russia mentioned

Thx John. Will probably just drink it. At this point we are trying to get rid of things.

Pepsi is or was the US distributor.  I think the brand has lost the luster it had in the 90's

 

I still buy it on occasion. It's about a $5 premium to Smirnoff for a 1.75 liter

 

My DW loves orange flavored vodka for her vodka tonic.  It used to be that everyone that had any flavored vodkas had orange.  Her preferred list. 1 Grey Goose l’orange 2) Kettel One Orange 3 ) Stoli Orange 4 ) Absolute Mandarin ... Hanger One was a premium version that is way worse than any vodka I have ever tasted seems to have kerosene as an ingredient.  We mostly keep Stoli and Kettle one at the house.  

 

So, we were low on orange vodka, the shelves were full of 30 brands and each had at least 4 or 5 flavors. I couldn’t find an orange other than Smirnoff.  I am going to have to go to the big city apparently to buy her vodka now.  Sigh.... awesome in the age of Covid19.

 

There are elder flower and cucumber, and pomegranate and all sorts of wierd choices in that store.  What happens with nice simple flavors, like lemon and orange and lime???  

 

My rich friends came to the lake in June and we had Gin and Tonics on the boat.  It was Hendrix Gin the midsummer solstice limited edition gin with Fever-tree Elderflower tonic water.  On the plus side it was hot 90F+ and the ice melted and made it like a regular bad gin and tonic.  

 

Seriously, keep it simple.

Publix had Orange Stoli in the 750ml bottles today.

 

Here is an awesome gin

 

I rarely drink gin, party leftover from a neighbor

Great a 1000 mile trip to Publix for Vodka.  We used to have the normal stuff in the local stores, now it seems wierd obscure options are the in thing.  Lukas Liquor in St Louis still have the regular choices.  That is only a 200 mile drive....

 

then I have to avoid statues falling on my car driving thru town.

Tried the Pernod an orange in the CL of Rhapsody, hated it.

 

Bacardi and Coke is a Cuba Libre, very nice.

I still remember the aniseed flavour of Pernod and the last time I drank it was 40+ years ago.

So it’s TP and Orange flavored Vodka. 😇

[xpcdoojk]

I was in the Sam’s club last week, and they are out of two staples at our house one which I haven’t needed to buy since before Covid19.   The one I buy regularly, but haven’t found it at Sam’s for over two weeks, which is Gran Marnier.  Which means I have been buying at grocery stores and paying an extra 5 or 6 bucks more for, and the other was TP.  It is late July 4 months after COVID19 and they didn’t have any last week.

 

Seriously, why are we still hoarding TP?  This is lung disease it doesn’t seem to cause GI issues.  

 

Things that let you know the world is dumber than even I expect it to be.

Tip. Try SAMS app late at night for TP and Paper Towels. I’ve seen them show up Online after like 2300 EDT. I like Charmin Ultra Soft and the boss likes Charmin Ultra Strong. Bounty select a size for towels. They do show up.
