Vacation

It has been a couple of days since I posted, but I wanted to point out that I am changing jobs. I gave my two weeks notices after being hired somewhere else, and I figure now is the best time to use my vacation days. So until I return back to my home, sadly there will not be any vodka updates... Unless people want me to speculate what may taste good. I'd start by saying bacon.

Candy Block Vodka

Remember back in kindergarten where everyone would be playing with toys? You're introduced to Lego, and you would try and build something. Then about half way through you'd see Tommy, that slow kid, just putting them in his mouth and eating them. I hated Tommy. Luckily for Tommy, and his digestive system, they started marking candy blocks.

You can tell that they are blocks, because they spell that out for you. Good Tommy.

Rockets / Smarties Vodka

As one of the great divides of Canada and the United States, certain things are not available in the others country. We don't have Vanilla Coke, and the US doesn't have things like Dill Pickle chips. Sometimes though they just need to change the name of the product, because it is already in use. The United States has Smarties, so in Canada they had to be renamed Rockets, because Smarties was already in use.

Interesting fact, I was going to have the logo look like rockets, but I have no artistic skill.

Mike & Ike Vodka

Mike & Ike have been around for a long time. So much so that they have become an icon. Ironically enough, they have been also seen as a symbol of Gay marriage, and possibly soon... Gas divorce. Because of this I decided to

I decided to go with the original fruits on this case, if you catch my double entendre.

Rock Candy Vodka

A while back I did a rock candy vodka drink, but it seems that there is more than one type of rock candy. One is formed on a stick, and the other looks like... Well a bunch of rocks. Now I work on the second type.

I guess I should say, "We will, we will, rock you."

Air Heads Vodka

Airheads... No I'm not talking about the movie staring Brendan Fraser. I'm talking about the taffy like candy that you could buy back in the day that was only... Okay.

Remember this? Yeah... It's... Okay.

Coconut Vodka

One day I was sitting under a coconut tree, and then it hit me. I should do something with coconuts. Being a bit of a lazy guy at times, not exactly wanting to crush what hit me on the head, I went to the store and grabbed some coconut.

As you can see, it is very glad to see me.

Runts Vodka

This one time, on Reddit, I saw a picture of two midgets with Michael Jackson. I wanted to recreate that experience as best as I could. I grabbed a bottle of vodka, added some runts, stopped tanning, and that's as close as I will come.

Let's do like Michael Jackson did, and touch the little things, once we get them out of their box.

Ring Pop Vodka

Remember in elementary school, all the girls would be sucking on these. Sure they looked like pacifiers, but if you didn't have one, you'd be the big baby.

Well I was able to track one day for one of our wicked experiments.

Annoying Orange Powder Vodka

You know that Annoying Orange video on Youtube? They're getting their own show on television. In spite of all that, I figured I'd make an orange flavoured vodka, but this time using a powder.

It comes in a little plastic container. You can smell the freshness.

Root Beer Candy Stick Vodka

Growing up on the farm, my father would always give me a beer. It's be a Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer, but it was a beer none the less. It came in a brown bottle, just like what he used to drink out of. Now I'm all grown up, and I still drink that root beer. I guess it's time to man it up a little bit?

This is a root beer flavoured candy stick. It's a lot like a candy cane, but comes in many different flavours.

Top List of Candy Booze

If you're looking for the top list of all the candies and booze that I have mixed together, look no further than the following.

Wine Gums Vodka

Someone suggested that I should start mixing shots. I said to Hell with them, and kicked them into an elevator. After they died, and I served my time, I figured I'd give it a shot in their memory. So I figured they wanted me to mix vodka with wine... So wine gummies should do.

Up in Canada, this is the standard wine gums. As a kid, I just wish they had alcohol in them. The lack of booze in them, made me the violent person I am today.

Double Bubble Gum Vodka

Who remember Double Bubble gum? I remember, back in the day, that it was only five cents, and it would come in larger pieces. I guess the gum industry has fallen on hard times with Stride, the gum that lasts forever, on the market.

So I figured I'd spend the seventy cents (big spender), and try and make something more out of a childhood memory.

Strawberry Licorice Vodka

One day, at work, one of my colleges suggested I do licorice vodka. His idea was to put the vodka inside of the licorice. I explained to him that it was a good idea, but it would leak out once it was bitten into. The other option was to mix it with jello to harden it up. And so began my quest.

I went with any old licorice I could find, so I decided to go with a no name brand. Of course I am a lot more selective with my ladies.
