The Goose is not French anymore BUT Imperia or Belvedere are much better anyway

Vodka all tastes alike to me. But then, I could barely distinguish Pepsi from Coke, so...

MICHELLE OBAMA BOOZE BINGES

I’d peg him for a short dog of port in a paper bag.

It's just a martini made with Grey Goose brand vodka.

Basically, it's the default drink to order in a trendy restaurant or nightclub.

A martini is obviously a very safe, non-controversial drink order and specifying Grey Goose - as one of the most heavily promoted "top shelf" liquors - means that you are consciously ordering what you believe to be a hip, expensive drink.

[Alter Kaker]

OK, as a non-drinker I have to ask....what is a Grey Goose Marini?

It's a vodka martini made from Grey Goose, an expensive French vodka. Classic martinis are usually made with either gin or vodka, gin being the more traditional.

I see they couldn’t resist taking a swipe at W.

LOL, it's a blog done by The Atlantic. What did you expect? :)

I have Bombay Sapphire Gin and it’s AQUA BLUE!!!

[barbarianbabs]

obama is a fancy lad

[DarthVader]

How about Olde English 800?

[trisham]

No kidding? I’ve never had blue gin. The bottle is blue, but the gin is clear.

I have a recipe for sauteed pork chops in sweet vermouth with caramelized onions and stuffed olives that is awesome, but I’d never drink the stuff!

[ottbmare]

You and I are on the same page about Sapphire.

[Erik Latranyi]

I drink Ketel One on the rocks, no garnish.

[reagan_fanatic]

I figured it would be this:

[Locomotive Breath]

Ummm... well.... my bottle of Bombay Sapphire is blue. That’s the bottle mind you. The gin is clear.

[trisham]

It sounds good. :)

[School of Rational Thought]

Grey Goose is a vodka you order to be pretentious, fitting for the “all hat, not cattle” Presidential party.

[End Times Sentinel]

Vermouth is evil.

Perhaps, but without it, you're just drinking a glass of gin.

[maggief]

I like mine with a twist.
