My love affair with the bottle has been a long and somewhat tempestuous one. There was a three-year stretch where I viewed sobriety as a sign of conservative Puritanism. (What do you mean you don't drink? What are you? A fascist Quaker?)
Older and not much wiser, but surely more sober, I've come to realize that loving booze does not have to hurt so good. Although I don't pound it back like I used to, I enjoy a drink pretty much every evening. I think it's so civilized to come home and wind down with a little something on the rocks.
My newest obsession is Bison vodka. This Polish vodka is made from Bison grass native to the Bialowieza forest, home of the European bison. How fucking yuppie is that??? Here's how I recommend that you enjoy this spirit:
In a highball glass, mix 1.5 parts of straight-from-the-freezer Bison vodka with 1 part cassis and 2 good glugs of club soda. Stir and enjoy.
Dorothy Parker herself would shed a tear, this drink is so good.

What about gin and juice?
You know, I always thought your shoes were fantabulous. I'm glad you agree.
That's it. First Irving and now you, and you guys are making me awfully thirsty. You've inspired me to go home and settle down with a glass of vino tinto... oh the weekend looks better already :)
Mm, sounds delish! My favourite summer drink is a Black Margarita...
1 part tequila
1 part cassis
1 part lime juice
Mix and enjoy! It's like fruit punch...
