Purple Drank - the Anti-Energy Drink

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

purple drankDrink makers are capitalizing on the the underground phenomenon, Purple Drank, with this anti-energy drink. It’s not the drink containing promethazine-codeine.

This Drank is a grape flavored concoction with a touch of with melatonin, valerian root and rose hips. I have absolutely no idea what these things are or what they do, but the creator says they calm folks down.

They say it works, especially when mixed with vodka. With the tag line “slow your roll” what would you expect.

How To Build A Still (a legal one, duh)

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

whiskey.jpgIt is illegal to distill spirits in the US with out a commercial license. So we don’t recommend trying this at home. Still, how cool would it be to make your own vodka, whiskey or just about anything you can think of right in your own back yard. Way more impressive that your home brewing neighbor. So 1990s. A boy can dream.

Anyway, if you do live some where it is legal or have a license, Instrcutables has several variations to choose from. The nice folks at Asylum have vetted several and recommended a design that promised a product that *hopefully* wouldn’t blind you. Remember, we don’t recommend trying this.

Top Shelf Ice for Top Shelf Booze

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

$1300 Ice Mold Not happy with the old ice tray? Ice melts too quickly and dilutes your drink?

Never fear, the Taisan Ice Mold makes 30 - 40 Spherical ice balls each hour.

Why a sphere? A sphere minimizes surface area and therefore minimizes the amount of melting going on.

This equals cold booze that isn’t watered down. A must have for any upscale cocktail lounge.

Revolution - Las Vegas

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008



revolution las vegas

Revolution is my favorite club in Vegas. revolution las vegas It is intimate, Beatles retro sheik and located right in the heart of the Mirage. Since we were staying at the Mirage, the location is ideal, just a short stumble to the room elevators!

I liked Revolution so much that I went twice. My last night in Vegas was a Party hosted by PINK Vodka at Revolution. What a great bunch if folks.

The club has a casual bar outside and inside is a room right out of Sleeper. Some of the bottle service areas have some of the cool new Microsoft Surface, it is like an interactive coffee table all controlled by an ashtray. This one was Beatles themed and way cool! It is a great addition to any club.

Pictured is a MS Surface creation of mine honoring our hosts!
