I like my fair share of "girly" drinks...but I won't drink those.

Well, just my luck, these were on sale so I bought 3 to try

And that's what they would probably tell me, "Don't knock it until you try it". And now you have.

What is seltzer?

What is seltzer?

In a general sense, it's just carbonated water (fizzy water). These drinks (which seem to have overtaken the beer aisle at the local Kroger) are flavored alcohol seltzers. Think fruit-flavored fizzy water with vodka.

Except the alcohol part seems to be really watered down. I think I'd rather drink vodka with lemon juice

True, but if you think about the target audience that might be drinking 4 or 5 of these on a hot summer day, it might be better for them that its less than 5% ABV

I'm drinking coffee today, at least, this morning.

It used to be typical of me to drink coffee black, but these days, I rotate between black and several different sweeteners and creamers. I like variety.

I do a lot of Starbuck's coffee, even when I go out for coffee drinks.

I usually buy my coffee ground, but I do have a grinder and can buy the whole bean coffee.

I have had some seriously expensive coffee machines which allowed me to make all kinds of coffee drinks, not just espresso. But today, I only have a cheap $30 machine that does just fine.

This morning, I am drinking for the first time ever, - chai tea.

Chai tea drinks more smoothly and settles better in the gut than Earl Grey.

My parents live in Puerto Rico, but Jamaican Rum is better, IMO. Appleton Estates is a very good brand.

Strawberry Basil margaritas were a huge hit.
