oldtimer Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 In my quest to find the perfect vodka (cheap and good) I'm currently auditioning an Australian grape vodka. For the price, it's exceptional. Price being a non consideration, it's still not too bad. I believe it's called Bombora or something like that. The secret is kangaroo piss.

twk123 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Is it possible to design a machine that will shake a cocktail shaker that will produce a vodka martini (a VARIATION of the Martini) that results in one exactly like one hand produced by Carl? But Carl has sooooo much experience shaking his hand up and down..... It's all in the wrist. Wait, so those are actually your Walnut Heresy's in the Alerts?

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted July 27, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 27, 2016 Monopolowa for one, Alverion is another. I have no idea if I spelled them correctly. You did well....you must have attended one of the better Texas schools..... There is only one "better" school in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yea, but not as pricey as Civet coffee..... http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/04/160429-kopi-luwak-captive-civet-coffee-Indonesia/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted July 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 28, 2016 You see, Jeff agrees. With Travis, you buffoon! Go Fro... ummm... Longhorns! Rice University, overall, is a top 1 percent school. The "state" schools have many top 10 programs but, by far, Rice is the best school in Texas.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted July 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 28, 2016 I hope the ice machine is fixed next year.Finally, someone talking about something that really matters.True that....I think everyone needs to bring a bag of ice as a back up.And a bottle of Chopin Oh boy, now you are gonna start a fight on here.Tito is a client of mine, a good long standing client. I can bring a case of Tito's. The price is right. There in one, and only one vodka. At least we settled the fact that a Martini is made with gin. Is it possible to design a machine that will shake a cocktail shaker that will produce a vodka martini (a VARIATION of the Martini) that results in one exactly like one hand produced by Carl? I have a hard time making Titos taste good and I've tried a bunch. No offense. Yes, I'm a vodka snob. All kidding aside, every time I go to Sherwin Williams for some paint, I think about what I could do with one of their old paint shakers. None taken. http://www.forbes.com/sites/meghancasserly/2013/06/26/haunted-spirits-the-troubling-success-of-titos-handmade-vodka/#7156356167d3 He's well over a 100 million a year, and the profit margin is quite good in spirits. Made in the USA in Texas, in Austin. I don't drink it, Bourbon and Gin for me, I prefer complexity. I use it to clean my American made records to play on my American made speakers on my American made turntable. It works great cut with deionized water, some surfectant and a couple of other secret ingredients. Once I get it perfected I am going to try and get him to make Tito's Record Cleaner.

CECAA850 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'm very familiar with the brand. It's won many awards but tastes medicinal to me similar to many other grain vodkas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 With no horse in the rating of TX university's I suppose its good to see that Baylor has been left out of the conversation. With good reason I'm guessing? Going only on news media reporting would any of you send a child there? Male or female? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High school was in upstate New York.Which is the equivalent of the typical college in Texas. They have to dumb things down a bit here.Not really. But the high schools here are below average.
