Christiana Vodka Review

-
Okay, just to let you know, I'm writing this review of Christiana Vodka after drinking *a lot* of Christiana Vodka. Yes, it's that good.

Let's not pretend like we're Robert Parker and have a lot of snobby things to say about something that we probably made up in some sort of acid-induced trip while at Burning Man. Seriously, I think he keeps a journal of words to use so when inspiration strikes, he can write it down.

The Bottle
The bottle is some sort of anomaly. Yes, it's only 750ml, but it seems taller, wider. It holds more. I imagine they use some sort of space-time bottle manipulator. I dunno. I do know that I have it in my large collection of alcohol's that would rival most TGI Friday's and that it stands taller.

Do you like how I keep railing on TGI Friday's? It's my new running gag.

The Smell
It smells like vodka.

The Taste
Christiana is produced from potatoes. In my opinion, this is something that not enough vodkas are doing. It makes for some deeeee-licious flavors. This also makes it gluten-free, which means that those really sensitive people can have it.

I swirled it around and it the stuff practically blows up with color. Like a diamond. I love the way it looks and it made me want to suck it down with a straw.

Christiana bills itself as "The World's Smoothest Vodka" and I'm inclined to agree. The vodka has a slightly sweet taste and it blows you away. It's like having a glass of very, very good tasting water. No burn, no cough, and none of that "chaser" crap that you wish you had with a lot of vodkas.

This stuff is liquid silk. It makes you sad that your drink is over as you swallow it down. I tried it with an olive and that just felt wrong, so I tried my next glass with a twist and it added so nicely to the delicacy that I added a twist to the glass after that. And the next one.

Conclusion
Most "super-premium" vodkas make me feel ripped off. This one is worth every penny and will make almost anyone a believer in vodka. The flavors are delicate for the connousieur but easy and light for someone who's switching to martini's as their palate develops. Keep this stuff in your bar, save it for the people you like.

New Absinthe's on the market

-

Only 8 months after real absinthe has become legalized in the U.S., the importers and overseas producers have really started taking advantage of the buzz and mystique that absinthe holds and launching like crazy here. With more absinthe launches than vodka lately, it may not be long until the brands are just as gimmicky. Three new absinthe's have launched this week in hopes of garnering early market share in a soon-to-be-crowded market. La Fee Absinthe Parisienne is made in Paris and has been around for a while as it's been sold in 20 countries for the last 10 years or so. The product is made by traditional standards and the owner of the recipe still approves each batch of La Fee. For a while, Lucid Absinthe was the only one you could get in the US as it wasn't made from the traditional Grand Wormwood (until March of 2007) so it could get away with going around the law. The producers guessed that the stuff that was considered a fake (but still very flavorful) wasn'...

Some thanks and virtual bartender

As of last week we averaged over 1,000 users per day. That's pretty damned cool. I'm surprised to see it myself considering how poor we rank on Technorati, but Performancing.com doesn't lie! In case you live under a rock, the Virtual Bartender are girls that do as you command, just like any good bartender does. They each have a huge list of commands and the most recent version has two girls. The shot pictured is them doing Star Wars. But they make out, shake ass, and many other things (no nudity, but plenty of cheesecake). They seem to do a lot of stuff except being able to make a martini. Brilliant.
