Summer Stock Up: BOOZE, Torani syrup, & MIXERS A house is not a home... when there's no vodka in the cupboard
Stocked up on booze today (vodka, citron vodka, spiced rum - already have regular rum, Jack D & Baileys)... I was completely out & I feel a depression coming on CHECK... Only allowed myself ONE drink mixer (for a Lavender Martini ) but wanted to try this: Stirrings Tangerini Martini Mix They had a Wild Blueberry & a Mojito one too. Has anyone ever tried these? Any good? Some mixers taste like pure shit, I ain't droppin' $10 on a whim Tell me if you've tried any of them Lastly, Torani syrups have a hold on me. In iced coffee, in milkshakes, in drinks too I suppose. There's so many flavors!!! Almond Roca Amaretto Anisette Apple Apricot Black Currant Blackberry Blueberry Boysenberry Butter Rum Butterscotch Caramel Cherry Chocolate Bianco (White Chocolate) Chocolate Biscotti Chocolate Milano Chocolate Mint Cinnamon Coconut Coffee Creme de Banana Caramel Cream Creme de Cacao Creme de Menthe Cranberry English Toffee French Vanilla Grape Grenadine/Pomegranate Ginger Spice Hazelnut Irish Cream Italian Eggnog Kiwi Lemon Lime Macadamia Nut Mandarin Orange Mango Melon Orgeat Passion Fruit Peach Peppermint Pineapple Pink Grapefruit Praline Raspberry Root Beer Strawberry Tamarindo Tiramisu Toasted Walnut Vanilla These bitches make me wacko I want all them shits So help me out - recommend some good drink mixes that don't suck! .

They're SO good... I think I'm gonna return my Peppermint & get Chocolate Mint instead, didn't even know they made that one | |

Thanks Shanna I have drink recipes though, I was just curious if anyone had tried those particular mixers b/c they look good but they cost a lot & I don't want to invest if they're gross That's okay, this ain't my first cricket thread ... or last | |

Have you ever tried the Oasis mixers for pina coladas, darquiri's and mudslides? They are soooo good. And if you use the ice cream mix one with vodka and midori it's to die for!!! | |

There's a new Vodka out now called "X". It's got blood orange, passion fruit, and mango juice in it. It's kinda weak compared to regular vodka, but it's got a really good flavor. Tastes fantasic when it's mixed with just plain old soda water, it's got a real nice tartness. | |

AHH... What they need to make is a mixer for a Blood Orange Cosmo/Martini THAT I'd buy no matter how much it was I may try "X", too bad it has passion fruit though. That taste is always weird to me | |

Chocolate martini's are my favourite beverage these days.
Creme de Cacao and Grey Goose vodka - shaken, not stirred | |

Creme de Cacao and Grey Goose vodka - shaken, not stirred You know what's weird - when you mix a better vodka (Grey Goose, Chopin) with anything it tastes like water. They're just too smooth to be mixed IMO I've only had a chocolate martini once, it was really good | |

I'm not a vodka fan, but I love the GG. | |

I'm not a vodka fan, but I love the GG. But with the Chocolate that's probably divine I tend to drink more citrus based stuff & the lemon just drowns out a vodka that smooth | |
