My SO wanted Bloody Mary's tomorrow so I bought a bottle of Kirkland (Costco American vodka and 2 kinds of pre-made mix. One was Zing Zag? brand and the other some artisan brand from Kroger. She spotted a deal on New York Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream so we decided on Pumpkin tumbleweeds after dinner... Vodka, creme de cocoa, and ice cream.
I must admit, they were tasty for a fu fu drink but I will be going after more of the 48oz cartons at $2 just to make these through the winter.
I chilled the vodka (ice cube in stir and out) and drank it. I thought it was right up there with many other "luxury" brands like Fuzzy's or 360 Degree but the bottle wasn't as cool.

Splash of POM original (blueberry is tolerable, cherry is not, be careful because the cherry cap and original cap are very similar)
Unfortunately Stoli Stick is almost impossible to find now, but you can still order it online.
It's best with the club soda and POM chilled and the Stoli Sticki in the freezer. Pour the vodka first, then the lime, then the club soda. Should foam up. Stir. Then add the POM.
Also it tastes best out of a big glass mug, preferably this one:

Nice touch with the San Diego Zoo glass. I went there myself back in the 90's during one of my many weekend trips from Silicon Valley. San Diego is awesome. I could live there for sure. :-) [Reply]
