8.17.2008don't call it a comeback
You know what pisses me off? People who insist on using flavored liquors for every drink that contains said flavor. They'll use espresso vodka in an espresso martini. Citrus vodka in a cosmopolitan. Lime flavored tequila in a margarita. And so on.
The problem is, when you do that, you're FUCKING UP the drink. A cosmo is plain vodka, triple-sec (which is orange flavored), lime juice, and a twist of lemon for a garnish. The cranberry juice is for color ONLY. Thus, you have the three main citrus flavors: lemon, lime, orange. Now, when you use an orange vodka, or a citron vodka, or something fucking stupid like that, you totally mess up the drink and make it taste exclusively like that one flavor. All it really takes is a basic understanding of the ingredients. Now, if you want to make a cosmo and doctor it up a bit, that's fine. You could throw a splash of grapefruit juice in there or use a grapefruit vodka in addition to the other ingredients. That would be nice. But it's not a cosmo. It's a quasmo. Or whatever other look-at-me-I'm-clever name you want to give it. But you shouldn't be messing with stuff until you know how to make the original one right. Then again, what do I know. This is a country of people who like everything to be the Mac 'N CHEESIEST!!! God dammit, people. The margarita is also another one of those drinks that people just can't seem to master. Why are you putting orange juice in there?!? I'm gonna take that pour bottle and shove it up your rectum. Don't you dare put fucking orange juice in my margarita. It's just annoys me that there are a lot of bad bartenders out there. Even at the tequila bar in downtown New Haven, there is only one bartender there that I trust with making my margaritas. They are perfect every time. The other bartenders couldn't make chocolate fucking milk, let alone a margarita. |
