My Russian friends prefer whiskey and even beer to vodka. Vodka is considered a bit low brow I guess. I don’t mind it myself. haha.
Instead of wine, I’m having a wine glass of ice cold Vanilla Vodka tonight. Pretty tasty.
The vodka flavoring we loved was Buffalo Grass. You can buy bottles of it already flavored, very pricey. Maybe worth it for my one bottle of vodka next summer.
As for the Russians, what do they know? I hate beer (barf) and whiskey (ditto).
My beautiful friend Jutta, who grew up in Nazi Germany, would only drink “good Chermun beer.” I have to admit, it was better. And some Czech beer too. I’ve lived here for 12 years and had beer 3 times. Twice for watching football with a friend and one bottle of Corona in honor of the corona virus. My neighbor brought it as his contribution to our July 4 potluck on a big lawn.
Remember that wonderful old song, “Bye bye, Miss American Pie, ....took my Chevie to the levee but the levee was dry, and good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye....”
Not a good ole boy.
Veto!
