Welcome to The Cock's Tales!
When I first started at the liquor store I wasn't a big drinker. I'm still not, but I get a lot of questions. Most of them I know the answers to. But when it comes down taste and which brand is better than which for what, I usual just take a guess or go with something that I know I like.
So, to correct this problem, I'm going to have monthly cocktail parties! Any excuse for a party, right? each month we will be tasting a new spirit from a different category. All who show up will taste and rate the liquor straight and then we mix it up, making a series of popular cocktails, and maybe some we make up on the fly.
The First meeting of The Cock's Tales is June 18 and we begin with Vodka! But because vodka is such a huge slice of the liquor industry, we are going to start things off a little differently. We are going to do a blind tasting of multiple brands, some high end, some hooch. I get a lot of customers that come into the store that like to declare that they don't drink vodka because they all taste the same. We are about to find out once and for all!
Fo now, the line up is: Chopin, Ciroc, Absolut, Smirnoff, Shakers Rye, Tito's, and Taaka.
Next entry, I will give you the lowdown about these brands and why I chose them.
A Spirited Intro
- Angela
- I work at a local liquor store and a frequent question I get is, "Is this any good?" Armed with a group of good friends, the internet, and a love for booze, I mean spirits, I intend to find out. Once a month I will buy a bottle, invite a lot of people over and, although we are not sommeliers, give it a good reviewing. We will start by tasting the spirit straight, and then make a few popular cocktails with it. So, bottoms up!
