Gimlets should cost whatever a shot costs, the $10 is for froofy menu cocktails.
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.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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:
- White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane
- Plynth (Water Down The Drain) by Jeff Beck
- Down By The River by Neil Young
Hello. My name is ita, and I have a metadata addiction.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
OK, name brand is the squash court of this conversation.

if you don't want sugar in the drink, it's vodka with lime juice, not a freaking vodka gimlet.
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

Hey! I did not make up the name brand. The name brand always existed...I just forgot to mention it up front. Name brand is more like the "starbucks card bought by continental Americans" of this conversation.
Also, I forgot it might make a difference.

I'm sure of it. It's really tasty. And not just in drinks!

What, she didn't know wormwood? Or was the answer thujone?
