After years of wanting an energy drink to go with my vodka that wasn’t something sickly sweet here at last I have found a player. Move over grandpa’s ginger ale or tonic and enter the new world of the energy mixer.
I enjoy one part Smirnoff Blueberry and two parts JetSet tonic.
Peace!
This Absinthe is named after the famed and famous Vieux Carre drink invented in New Orleans. Absinthe is the key to the Vieux Carre cocktail or at least the Absinthe rinse that gets the cocktail started. The Vieux Carre Absinthe lives up to its vaunted namesake with its delightful qualities and beautiful bottle.
Q: Hi, barkeep. I have question. What is your opinion of hip flasks? I just got a 9-oz one for a present and I was wondering if a flask keeps alcohol cold? If not, what is a good alcohol (rum,…
According to lore, Drambuie is fit for a King. In fact, it was allegedly invented by a Prince of Scotland who would have been King of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland if his insurrection has succeeded. We are speaking of Prince Charles Stuart, whose lineage included many of the Kings of Scotland and a few in England after the two countries united under James Stuart in 1603. In 1745, Charles sailed to Scotland and with the aid of the Scottish Highlanders, a fierce bunch of men, began their quest to retake Scotland for a “Scottish King”. During this period, there was much strife in England and Scotland. In Scotland, it was the Highlanders versus the Lowlanders, who had benefited the most from the merger of England and Scotland. The Highlanders wanted to be left alone with their Scotch and were no fans of the heavy taxes levied on their fine beverage.
Campari is a bitter spirit that is made from over 60 herbs and spices. If you try hard, you can pick out a few. For me, the easiest one to spot is the quinine, which is one of the herbs that gives Campari its bitter quality. Campari has been produced in Italy since 1860 and like Coca Cola, allegedly only one person knows the recipe.
In addition to its great price, there are two other things going for it. A great label. I know that I have cautioned against buying wine based on how much you like the wine but sometimes I am a bit of a hypocrite. But, this time, I didn’t actually purchase the wine based on the label but on a recommendation. That didn’t mean that I wasn’t enjoying the label – I truly was (and when I found the model for the label – a women drinking a glass of wine abreast a bear, I liked it even more).

Well, that’s lovely and all, but Jet Set actually ISN’T the world’s first energy mixer. It’s a knock off of the original, Hiball Energy. To be quite honest, Hiball is MUCH more delicious and better for you.
