Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Fresh lime juice is best for gimlets. And I agree; I either have to tell the bartender what it is, or I have to ask them to modify it. I've had a lot of "EUUUGGH, that's just cold vodka UNDO IT UNDO IT!" gimlets.

I prefer more Rose's to less, Vortx, to avoid precisely that reaction.

I drank WAY too much straight vodka in high school to want to taste it now!

I still stand by my Sazerac cocktail recommendation. Classy, classic, simple, badass, mysterious.

By most accounts the Sazerac is the first cocktail.

I need to go to bars that specialize in classic cocktails, single malt whiskey, micro brewed beer, and, um, port wine.

That would be Alembic in my neighborhood. And I know you like their beer since they're affiliated with Magnola where I took you drinking.

My drinks of choice: Cheap red wine a la Riunite Lambrusco, and Boone's Farm Sangria.

What is in a Sazerac? I don't like any kind of whisky, gin, bourbon or Scotch, so I'm pretty limited in my cocktailage.

My Celtic heritage turns up its nose at me and sniffs. I don't really like beer, either.

Connie, I have a friend who luuuurves the Lambrusco! She kinds of slinks around with a paper bag full of it at summer parties cause her husband is a wine snob.

My aunts love the asti spumante and whenever I have to buy it, I'm kind of embarassed. When I see people look in cart, I want to say "it's not for me". I swear, I'd be less ashamed to have a box of condoms in the basket.

Hey, a box of condoms in the basket would imply you're getting some action. Or a lot of action. Depending on how many condoms we're talking.

She'd have a lot. Vortex does not do anything small. See also: breasts.
