Booze-Infused



Last weekend, while perched upon barstools nursing a few bonzers, two lads swooped in and asked us if we were down for some ‘shotskis.’ Pretty sure that means a belt of Popov but we never did study eastern European language so we're a little fuzzy on the translation. Regardless, the sheer thought brought back some hazy memories of college where we... er, our friend woke up shoeless next to Blockbuster, vowing never again to consume bevs containing Russian water. Like poison, it is!

But during a trip to Chicago this week, garment gal Susan Morgan led us to Ethel's Chocolate Lounge and convinced us that the collection of vodka cocktail-inspired candy was worth sampling. While initially hesitant, we drank down the booze-infused truffles (eyes closed, nose plugged). To our surprise, the Lemon Drop, Etheltini and Chocolapolitan not only quenched our thirst for chocolate, but we also woke up the next day hangover-free!
