Flavored Vodkas - cjs - 11-15-2007 My Lord, the choices we have at the liquor store now!! Last weekend I saw 'Twist of Blueberry' and grabbed it! In the little attachment, there was Blueberry Martini instructions - 1.5 oz. Smirnoff Blueberry flavored vodka 1 oz. white or red cranberry juice 1 oz. tonic squeeze of lime Shake, strain, pour and garnish with a blueberry. Oh my, this is a delightful little drink!! So, my question to you is what flavors have you all gotten and what have you done with them. I think they'd be a ball to play with. I'm off to check out www.smirnoff.com Re: Flavored Vodkas - DFen911 - 11-15-2007 Why would anyone ruin perfectly good vodka with flavors...well unless it's Absolut. That stuff is just lighter fluid. PS - I'm a vodka snob Re: Flavored Vodkas - labradors - 11-15-2007 Okay. Here's something that will probably offend the snobs and purists, but will delight others: a recipe using vodka to make a copycat of DiSaronno. DiSaronno Ingredients
------------- I made some of this for a friend who likes DiSaronno, and he loved it. Plus, it cost a lot less than DiSaronno, especially here in Honduras. Re: Flavored Vodkas - cjs - 11-15-2007 thanks lab - that's one 'knock off' I don't have! A vodka snob.....hmmmm, then you stay out of my blueberry vodka, MS Denise!! Re: Flavored Vodkas - labradors - 11-15-2007 Quote: Do you happen to have a tried & true knock off for Bailey's? I've seen some around, but have not tried them yet. May as well use one that someone I know has already tested (if you have, that is). Re: Flavored Vodkas - Lorraine - 11-15-2007 We bought 2 big bottles of Absolut Citron a few years ago and put them in the cold room. I think they're still there! Shows how much vodka we drink! Re: Flavored Vodkas - pjcooks - 11-15-2007 I've got one for you, Labs. I may have posted it here before. Haven't made it in years, I remember I liked it then. Will go dig it up for you. With a name like Murphy, I should have one, right? PJ Re: Flavored Vodkas - pjcooks - 11-15-2007 Lorraine, 2 BIG bottles still there??? Nothing like Citron and lemonade during the summer, in a tall frosty glass and lobster salad rolls. I'm missing summer already, although it hit the high 60's today here in the Granite State. PJ Re: Flavored Vodkas - farnfam - 11-15-2007 Once upon a time in Mexico we found a bottle of Lime Vodka marked $40pesos (about $4US). We bought two,and they were wonderful. A few days later we went back for more and it was now marked $140pesos, ($14US). Should have known it was a mistake and bought more than 2 when we had the chance Cis Re: Flavored Vodkas - cjs - 11-15-2007 Here you go lab - this is one my mother and I used to make, drink and enjoy!!!!
