Gimlets shouldn't cost $10, right? It was fucking tasty, but that seemed steep. Got to make sure I never buy those when someone else is paying.
No, it should cost whatever a non-special cocktail costs, like $6-$7.
ETA: Gimlets should cost whatever a shot costs, the $10 is for froofy menu cocktails. Also, if you don't want sugar in the drink, it's vodka with lime juice, not a freaking vodka gimlet.
No, sometimes you're not, but those times are so short-lived that no one bothers to tell you!
Well bugger that for a game of soilders. I want to know when I'm not ON THE LIST!

I'm sure I've paid $10 for non-froofy highball-type drinks. At like the Soho Grand or whatever. Fancy places like where ita goes.
Nice place, name-brand vodka, it's not crazy
Okay place, Grey Goose. But mmm, lime juice.
Hec! Help! I have three tracks in my iTunes that I can't classify properly. They say they're from the album "The Famous 500," but Google doesn't think that album exists. I don't remember where I got them, so I can't tell if they were from a compilation of sorts. They are:
Hello. My name is ita, and I have a metadata addiction.
sweet carob balsamic vinegar.
runs back to her neighborhood to find this - ONE of the Italian delis is sure to have it

This. Especially if you're in a place where a name-brand shot costs $8 or more.
All of this talk about booze reminds me that I probably need to buy more vanilla vodka. And more absinthe, but that involves mail-order.
I still want to try Pinky vodka.
That is my secret for cheap drinking: Tom Collins. Everything else on the drink menu is $10, and a Collins is like $4. There are a lot of places where it's cheaper than beer.
Which is weird.
OK, name brand is the squash court of this conversation.

You're so cute. But it was the nice lady who called it a gimlet, not me. Maybe it was sweetened. But the sugar was definitely an undertone. Mostly, it was juicy and alcoholic. Mmm. Sour.
Jilli - it was so funny. Some asshat on "Millionaire" the other night lost out on $500K because she didn't know what ingredient in absinthe made it illegal.
