From the Snarkitini/Snarkatini Test Kitchen

[Catchawave]

I played last night, so I don't want you to think I'm in the kitchen right now :silly: (and as Keef would want, I tested responsibly and didn't drive!)

Snarkatini rolls off the lips easier, I like that, especially when I'm on my 4th (j/k). Snarkitini was my attempt to quickspeak a Snarky Martini. Much like our Cosmopolitan ("Barkeep, a 'cosmo' please")cousin, we'd just be asking for a "snarko", so maybe it should be the Snarkolbermantini...heh.

Moving right along....preliminary results, but still awaiting FDA approval:

Vodka is the least offensive hooch mix. Basically tasteless, it didn't interfere with the lovely estrogen friendly "fortified" fruit juice marriages....er...blends.

In celebration of Snark, it shouldn't be "sweet". Just smooth,comforting, and like KO's serious wit, thought provoking :)

Notes from the Mad Chemist:

Ruby Red (calcium fortified!) grapefruit juice, add vodka to personal buzz factor level.

Orange juice, not from concentrate, choose your favorite fortification...heart health, immunity defense, etc, etc. (I prefer pulpy for fiber, oy) AND a generous splash of lemon juice. <---this one was snarkalicious enough not to need the booze, but no buzz.

Cranberry juice! And I don't mean Ocean Spray! Pure organic cranberry juice is soooo tart, I know where the word 'snark' was born. The secret ingredient is a twist of fresh lime. Or a hefty squirt from the little fake lime bottle. It's definitely a sipping beverage!

Cheers

Great suggestion for peach schnapps...use organic peach juice instead!

Hey, I'm all for having a lovely beverage as long as their is some nutrient value involved :)

2. Mmmm. Too much fruit juice for me.

Make mine Gray Goose and just sort of wave the vermouth at it. :evilgrin:

4. OMIgawd....I could wave Gray Goose at Kool Aid....

...and be in heaven. So sorry, bad choice of words :(

Must try organic cranberry (or fav fruit choices) juice and vodka w/a twist of lemon/lime/both is better....my bladder's never been happier <snork> Warning: organic fruit juices are

:scared:

an acquired taste. Use your sippy cups :)

5. I'd love to try the Ruby Red.

what's the ratio of vodka to juice? Because I want to try it IRL, too. :)

8. Folks: I started a separate thread for CELIAC DISEASE info -- dubbing it

... the "Snarketeria" and featuring the term "GLUTEN-FREE" in the subject line -- with a view to informing visitors about the disorder.

However, it's been suggested that celiac information, along with gluten-free meal suggestions, belongs here, under this umbrella.

I interpreted this thread as being about the KOEB's unique beverage inventions, not celiac.

So what should I do now? :shrug:
