That’s odd. I thought infused alcohol was common.
What a horrible crime! In the mean time, how many illegal ailens/terrorists sneaked into your state while saving everyone from bacon vodka?
“That’s odd. I thought infused alcohol was common.”
It is. But once you pour the vodka out, you cannot put it back into the bottle.
Booze has been put on the Watch List?
I guess that booze should be distributed in Tooth Paste Tubes....
My guess is some bar owner with friends in high places has seen a dip in sales due to The Pump’s infused Bloody Marys.
I bet muzzies got served, and then found out they drank pig skin vodka.
It's legal to pour liquor into another vessel (e.g. a Bloody-Mary glass); add things to it (whereupon "infusion" takes place, albeit for minutes rather than days); and then serve it.
Would it be legal to pour the alcohol into another vessel (e.g. a jar); add stuff to it; allow infusion for a period of time; pour the resulting mixture into a cocktail glass; and then serve it?
Could it be that simple? If not, why not?
It is but it is sold sealed in the bottle. You cannot breach the seal, empty the bottle, and then refill no matter what. Barkeeps have been known to sell off brands this way so you pay top shelf prices for rot got or watered liquor
Simply put it in a different container.........
Many places infuse liquor, beer, wine.
In Minnesota a bar was serving a popular beer from Wisconsin that was not distributed in Minnesota. The owner was charged with a felony, the bartender fined and the establishment lost its liquor license because the state of Minnesota felt cheated out of probably less than $25 in taxes on a single keg of beer. The owner could have been selling pot out the back door and faced lesser consequences. Carrie Nation’s ghost must wander the halls of state liquor regulatory agencies.
I would’ve eaten it before that.
They used to have to break the necks out of the empty bottles or the could be fined.
Or better, just put whatever you want infused into the original bottle. If you need room use a little alcohol in a regular drink, then you have plenty of space for the infusion material.
I never go out, but I used to go to this one place.
I’d order a specific drink, neat.
At some point I noticed it was watered down.
I told the guy: ‘look, it’s not a big deal, but I can taste this...’
Vehement denials. Manager. Owner.
I stayed friendly but firm. I offered to buy a WHOLE new bottle shot by shot for fun so they could do a taste test.
They refused.
I tried to exit - they refused. They were PISSED.
The whole thing took a ridiculous hour.
Proud, mean people.
I was called a thief and a fool, a drunk.
The manager pointed to the door.
YOU THINK WE WOULD DO THAT? YOU ARE A SICK F _ _ _ ... !
One watery drink drove them nuts.
They closed down two weeks later for some odd reason.
Something to do with violations or something.
Their crime is putting it back into the original bottle. That’s to prevent bars from putting cheap liquor into premium bottles. They should have used separate bottles for their infusions.
