    revolverocelot: npr: reuters: Have you seen all those flavored vodkas on the shelves lately? It’s getting nutty out there: Whipped Cream, Cotton Candy. I recently received a sample of Chocolate-Covered Pretzel flavored vodka. A bartender in Kiev, Ukraine would have a hearty laugh at these sweet-toothed flavors. And then he might push across the bar a shot of fiery pepper-infused vodka. This is the original flavored vodka, my friend. Buckle up. READ ON: In Kiev, tipplers like it hot — tanya b. Can’t escape this bullshit. Flavored liquor of this sort always tastes like a failed attempt at drinkable Skittles: disgustingly and overpoweringly sweet followed by an instant sugar headache and/or stomach ache. Can you think of anything worse than cotton candy flavored vodka? The very idea is a punishment for those who would skip the entire drinking process in favor of instant drunkenness after an extra-sugary Kool-Aid. So yeah I don’t like garishly flavored alcohol. Cotton Candy vodka seems like a cheap way to take advantage of drunk college girls, especially underage ones who frequent college bars. It always squicks me when I see it on the shelf. Also, raspberry flavored vodka is alright. I think fruit flavored liquors/liqueurs are pretty traditional anyway. But whipped cream and cotton candy are pushing it into a creepy zone— what’s next? M&M flavored rum! They’re marketing to children.
