Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

I love you all...

[MontanaMama]

1. Hi Aristus.

what’s your cocktail du jour?

[Aristus]

2. Moscow Mule.

Again.

[MontanaMama]

3. I was gonna say....

You can’t beat it in the summer time. Ginger beer is on my shopping list this weekend. I like Cock and Bull because it’s spicy and way gingery and it makes my lips numb when I drink it. What’s your favorite Ginger Beer?

[Aristus]

4. I'm not particular.

Just whichever one has the least amount of goopy gingery stuff in the bottom of the bottle.

I hate it when my last Moscow Mule is four time as strong as my first.

5. Since you are from an apple-producing state,

what is your favorite type of apple (Granny Smith, Gala, etc.)? I'm partial to Winesap, but I rarely see them in my grocery store.

6. Envy.

Medium crisp, nice texture, sweet without being cloying, very satisfying.

[TexasTowelie]

7. I do see Envy at the store occasionally.

I only recall buying them once or twice, but I agree that they are a good choice.

8. Is it true that a hot dog vendor can make me one with everything?

[Aristus]

9. I thought that was a pizzeria.

[braddy]

10. I don't like cashews on pizza.

[Aristus]

11. But they go well on a hot dog?

Bleh!

[braddy]

12. Screw it, I'm switching to Hindu.

[cilla4progress]

13. Your vodka

Of choice?

[Aristus]

17. Currently: Absolut.

Every once in a while, I'll spring for a bottle of Russian Standard. A Russian friend of mine assures me that this is what they drink in Russia, not fancy Finlandia or mediocre Smirnoff.

But I love Absolut's different flavors, especially lime, which goes well in a Moscow Mule.

14. Need to come in here to cool off after a bit in GD.

Damn, the world is effed up. Anyway, what kind of vodka are you drinking?

I am dog sitting for my sister - cutest dog in the world. Have kind of taken a few nips here and there. Hope you are having a good evening!

[edbermac]

15. Why is Trump such a dick?

Cheers!

[Aristus]

18. Overcompensation.

For having such a little dick...

[zanana1]

16. What's the capital of Croatia? nt

[Aristus]

19. Zagreb.

I always thought that sounded like the name of a villain in an episode of Scooby-Doo.

[zanana1]

24. Aristus knows everything! nt

[Aristus]

25. It's a gift.

And a curse...

[MissMillie]

20. Have you been watching the Men's Semifinals at Wimbledon?

Good stuff

[Aristus]

21. I'm afraid not.

Not much into tennis, playing or watching.

How are they going?

[MissMillie]

22. both semifinal matches were supposed to take place yesterday

The first one lasted 6 hours and 36 minutes. Final score (Anderson over Isner) 7-6, 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 26-24. (There are no fifth-set tiebreakers at Wimbledon.)

They started the second match last night but had to end it due to an 11 pm curfew at Wimbledon. Nadal and Djokovic are now on serve in the 5th set (though as I said that Djokovic now has 3 match points).

Djokovic def Nadal: 6-4, 3-6, 7-6, 4-6, 10-8

[Aristus]

23. I can't imagine playing tennis for six minutes.

Let alone six hours.

I am the least-athletically gifted person on the planet...
