It’s the Scumbag Booze’s Fault

The Bartender — Wed, 16 May 2012 10:33:04 +0000

Hey, you know when you have too much to drink and suddenly terrible ideas seem like awesome ones? We’ve heard some people say alcohol eats away at your judgment – though we’ve always attributed it to vile humours and foul daemons that need to be exorcised with more booze.

Turns out the folks at Sad and Useless have finally figured it out – when you get drunk enough you can actually hear the liquor talking to you. And it turns out that liquor is a jerk! See more pictures of scumbag booze.

How to Build a Kegerator Freezer (Keezer)

The Bartender — Tue, 08 May 2012 12:26:55 +0000

We’ve been thinking about getting a kegerator for Liquor Snob headquarters (because why not, right?) but we really like the idea of building our own. We don’t have a chest freezer like the one used in this how to video from Northern Brewer, and that’s pretty much the only thing keeping us from heading upstairs and pawing all the frozen waffles and ice cream right out of the damn thing post haste.

Get Insta-Drunk with WA|HH Quantum Sensations

The Bartender — Mon, 07 May 2012 17:36:35 +0000

For us, drinking is the fun part and the buzz is the awesome side effect, but apparently there are people out there who’d rather get the loopiness without crushing their way through a cocktail. For those people, we offer you Quantum Sensations, which is apparently the Binaca of booze. You breathe it in, you get a buzz, and apparently you’re unbuzzed seconds later. Sounds like the opposite of a good time to us, but maybe it’d be good if we decide we need to freshen up our buzz while we’re in the bathroom. via Gizmodo

Seriously, it’s not available in the States yet and even when it is you may want to tread lightly according to Ubergizmo:

One ought to tread on such a device with caution, however, since there is no way to regulate the use of such a device, and even after recovering from a state of drunken stupor, there might be slight side effects which could affect the motor and cognitive skills of the person.

How to Mix a Mojito (In a Bustier)

The Bartender — Tue, 01 May 2012 08:02:59 +0000

The woman in this video appears to be making a simple cocktail of some kind. We THINK it says something about a mojito, but our lizard brains keep getting in the way because she’s wearing lingerie while she does it. Oh well, we suppose we’ll just have to watch the video again to see if we can retain something… via EyeHandy

Drunk in Public vs Bohemian Rhapsody

The Bartender — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 04:15:00 +0000

This dude got picked up for intoxication, and he wasn’t quite sure he was guilty. In fact, as he says in the video, the issue isn’t intoxication but “brotherhood of man on the planet earth.” I think it’s really about being able to say “let me go” to a cop 100x from the back of a cruiser without feeling a nightstick on your adam’s apple. Oh, you also get to irritate the cop. This guy’s a genius – he’d get 1,000 Internet points but he’s Canadian (or at least he was picked up by the RCMP)…what’s the exchange rate nowadays?

Thanks for the link, Racey.

Marshall Amp Mini Beer Fridge

The Bartender — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 04:46:14 +0000

Most people I know who are into guitars are also pretty interested in beer. That’s why this Marshall amp-shaped beer fridge is a stroke of genius. It features 4.4 cubic feet of storage, convenient can racks, and yes – the knobs on the outside go to 11. And yes, I’m sure this is what you’re most concerned about – it’s Energy Star compliant.

The Marshall Fridge will be available for $299, for shipment on October 1, 2012 (the day before our Editor in Chief’s birthday…just sayin’) at MarshallFridge.com. via The Awesomer

Blitzkrieg Vodka Commercial Parody

Ever get sick of liquor commercials featuring a bunch of douchebags in expensive clothes, toasting the awesomeness of their yacht-filled lives? Then this is the (fake) vodka commercial for you. Blitzkrieg Vodka – because we just don’t give a fu*k.

Trader Jose’s Premium Silver Tequila Review

The Bartender — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:03:03 +0000

We were recently sent a review bottle of Trader Joe’s new-ish tequila product, AKA Trader Jose’s Premium Silver Tequila. This is a 100% agave spirit that weighs in at a fairly standard 80 proof (40% ABV) and costs in the neighborhood of seventeen bucks ($17). Trader Joe’s is a brand we always associate with good quality at a reasonable price – so how does it taste when Joe dips his toe into tequila?

Since they’re not aged, many silver or white tequilas run a bit hotter than your reposados or anejos, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be delicious. In fact, we here at Liquor Snob tend more toward a silver than the aged varieties, especially when mixing typical cocktails. We found this one to have a sweet floral nose heavy on good old agave, which was very appealing without burning our nose hairs.

When we tasted it had a hint of smokey grass, a big wallop of agave, and a slightly bitter finish. All in all we thought it was tasty straight, and the flavor was improved greatly on the rocks. It was great for most people’s typical tequila needs – you know, margaritas and body shots – and measured up well with tequilas that were a smidge pricer…maybe $20-$25.

All in all we thought Trader Jose put a good foot forward with this tequila and it feels like a good addition to your shopping cart between the plantain chips and the frites.
