Caramel vodka

If it was salted caramel it would not be so easily dismissed.

The word Trump leaps uncontrollably to mind.

Well the nylon-headed ******** ******* did/does brew his own:



I'm sure ardy could stir in a tin of something sticky and have a great time!

Now that is what I call real class.

And I'm reminded that it must be twenty-something years since I had a so-called Irish coffee.

You have to have sugar in it to make the cream float - and I don't take sugar in any drinks (nor milk, still less cream) so it's not likely to be to my taste, snob or not

Thanks teamsaint but I gave those up weeks ago.

"More" cigarettes.. They were bloody awful too. One pack to try to emulate Kojak, and never again.

how can you take less cream than no milk?

This must be one of those questions Zen Masters use to trigger enlightenment in their disciples.

'Less' in the sense of 'even more not' referring to my inclination to partake of either.

You take boring milkshakes

Some of the ones I tasted were indeed salted caramel. Still godawful, IMV.

Maybe I'd better put my caramel vodka experience into context! It was a three men in a boat situation. We'd just sailed from St Martin to the BVI (not, I hasten to add, to check our offshore funds) and having dropped anchor cooked a delicious supper of swordfish steaks, stir-fried vegetable and rice, accompanied by a couple of lovely bottles of chilled Muscadet...which had crossed the Atlantic with the skipper. It was dark by then and hearing a kerfuffle over the water, we poked our heads up to see a catamaran that had got into a mess trying to moor up. We dinghied over to help them out, and were rewarded with a bottle of Artemis caramel vodka. Our first thoughts were rather similar to those expressed by all the pooh-poohers above! Until we tried it. One probably has to be (a) tired (b) slightly euphoric and (c) tipsy to start with, but having sampled it, we all agreed it was fine stuff...and finished the bottle. Things by season seasoned are...but I make no apologies.

... for is it not written - " Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse... " ?

But none of that was attendant when you wrote your post - the moment had passed, the euphoria gone, the emotion just a memory. You were sober and posting a thread in the cold light of day, extolling the virtues of a truly naff drink!

You really ought to apologise!
