#yes that’s a tequila bottle at the back there #no I’m not such a monster that I’d freeze tequila #it’s vodka in a tequila bottle because the second vodka bottle didn’t fit #also those coupes are a stupid size and shape but they’re all I could afford #they work well for things that don’t need a crema - love lemon drops in them because they have a nice big surface for a sugar rim #but esspresso martinis look shit in them - as do all cream based drinks like grasshoppers #fuck now I want a grasshopper #I also want a gin and tonic #and I have no tonic and no cream/milk so both are out of the question #I will also say the vast number of ice packs are a remnant from my ‘I’m doing eight hours of dance every day minimum’ #because I used to come home and just tape ice packs to the various injuries I had instead of actually resting #gotta love toxic industries #I really jumped straight out of one and into another #also holy shit I was just reading online about what the current consensus is on vodka in the freezer and…nearly every single article cites #a business insider interview with the guy who created grey goose where he’s like ‘nooo it kills the flavour don’t put it in the freezer!’ #and sir sorry to break it to you but your fucking expensive vodka tastes shit #we have a bottle at work and hardly sell any of it because it’s over priced and is one of the worst tasting vodkas we have #I’d genuinely take the shitty Chekov vodka that we use as house when we can’t get our actual house in than grey goose #grey goose is shit that rich people pretend to like because grey goose are insanely good marketers #vodka honestly isn’t meant to be complex (yeah there are some good complex vodkas - I really like źubrówka if I’m drinking it neat or over #ice) but truly…vodka is there to be a source of alcohol. if you want complex flavours then go with gin or whiskey or rum or tequila #vodka is ethanol plus water. the bison grass źubrówka obviously has a little more to it but that’s why I drink it. and if I were to have a #anyway what I’m saying is if I were to have to drink grey goose I’d definitely freeze it first. it’s such a mediocre vodka considering the £ #I will also say this comes from the perspective of a cocktail bartender.
