“Some Burbs and acid for your body…” S T A T U T O R Y – W A R N I N G “If you are above 18 then only read this review.”
“ Drinking Alcohol is Injurious to your health. “I hope you have taken the above 2 warning seriously before going ahead with my review.
My first drink…Before giving you a brief about my stint with Vodka on a whole, let me give you a start how I started drinking and still drinking (Not regularly!!). It was my college years and like any teenage kid, we used to freak out on parties and discs. Actually, they say girls are the main culprits behind many things (No offense Girls Please!!), same thing happened to me. I was in my first year and we had gone to a disc called Madness in Mumbai, were as always I had avoided drinking alcohol (But not for long!! Sigh!!), as I had seen guys drinking and puking, which itself was really disgusting to see. But this girl at the Disc, man how can I describe her, she was awesome and couldn’t think how to approach her. Then one of my friend advised me to take a drink and he told me that you would get the guts to go and speak
(Which is totally wrong and foolishness!! If some one gives you this advice give him a big slap…), but at that age, you don’t have brains and somehow had the first taste of beer (Yuck!! At that time) and I felt like I was having a kerosene, but somehow one sip after the other, my whole world was swinging. After that what happened was a different story. But after that first experience, things never remained the same, some how tried stopping but now, after being in business meeting foreign clients usually as a courtesy have one or two and it has stuck with me.
Again, for my first Vodka taste was with a Business associate (Incidentally she was Canadian Lady) and had gone out for a regular business dinner and had the taste of Smirnoff for the first time and since then, Vodka never left me during meetings and dances.
About Vodka…Vodka is a Russian drink and it’s been an age-old recipe of drinks for the Russians. It is said that it’s been around 600years since vodka was first introduced to the human taste bud.
Smirnoff Vodka…Though in India, we get different brands of low end Vodka, like Alchzer, White Mischief & Romanov, we don’t have any premium Vodka apart from Smirnoff Available. This is the brand by Pierre Smirnoff and probably the best Vodka you would get on this planet.(If there is do tell me the name).
Some Beautiful Combination…Smirnoff, with any combination is liked smoother than anything you would have. Initially I was an avid fan of Lime with Smirnoff, but now things are not the same. I try all my stunts as far as possible with Smirnoff.
Lime and Lemony…This is the most popular combination of having Smirnoff, with spring of lime and ice.
Recipe: 45ml of Vodka
Lime Juice/Limac/Lemonade
The Dark Horse with Vodka…I would call this as the Dark horse of Vodka. It was very recently, that I found that Vodka taste awesome with Fresh Grape Juice.
Recipe: 45 ml of Smirnoff Vodka
Fresh Grape Juice
Sex on the beach…Very recently I had gone to the Le Meridian and I had enquired some good vodka combination and the waiter suggested me Sex on the Beach, at first I was stunned (They give such amazing names.) but then when he told me the ingredient, I was like get it fast.
Recipe: 45ml of Smirnoff Vodka
Peach Schnappes
Orange Juice
Cranberry Juice
It was like never before, you get this at many places by different names like
“Sex getting wild”,
“The Urge for Air”.
Blue Lagoon…Again, this is one the best combination of having Smirnoff,
Recipe: 45 Ml Smirnoff Vodka
Blue Curacao
Lemonade
Garnish: Cherry, Orange Slice
There are many such combinations you can try with Smirnoff, I would sign off giving you the last combination, I love to have my Smirnoff with.
Vodka Freak…Probably the most common in all the restaurants but may be with different names.
Recipe: Lemon Juice
Grenadine
Superfine Sugar
Garnish: Cherry, Orange Slice
But, I felt the best way to have vodka is with Fresh Fruit juice like Grapes & Orange. Probably this saying would fit here.
“Vodka, the ’’little water,’’ has over 600 years of history. And thousands of ways to mix it, infuse it, drink it, cook with it ... to simply appreciate it.”Now, after this wonderful recipes, which I have vodka with, let me, give you some problems which vodka can give you.
1. Vodka is very acidic and after a nice drink when you get up in the morning you really feel pukish and as if some ball is rotating in your stomach.
2. Vodka gives a bad hangover to me, I really don’t know about others but for me it gives a bad hangover. Some tips…
1. Never have too much drink if you don’t have the capacity to take it. Puking is the last thing any one would do.
2. Always eat well after drinking, because the less you eat more acidic and more pukish you would feel.
3. Never drink and drive. There are 1 or 2 advantage of Vodka, for which you can mail me.
Again, leaving with this note…
