Where Vodka Gremlin Comes From...
Have you ever belonged to every wine club for all of the liquor stores in a 5 mile radius? It’s not that I'm a raging alcoholic, I just appreciate wine, the different brews, and finding new mixed drinks to obsess over and get my friends hooked on.
After trying everything, from drinking garbage in my first two years of college, to sending back gin cosmos for not being made correctly, I'm a little bit of a booze sommelier. Due to my need to have my drinks be perfect, I've changed the drinking lives of my friends and family for the better (I know I know, I'm like the Mother Theresa of booze). I know what I like, and depending on how well I know other people, I can recommend something they would love. That and I love having friends over, making new concoctions, and forcing them to try it. Before you continue reading, I am going to tell you straight up, I’m a Riesling and a Gerwusteimer kind of girl when it comes to wine. Try it, if you hate it, don’t read what I like, because we are different people and you will not like what I have to say. I drink red occasionally, but not usually (when you spend 50 dollars on a pack of whiteners every 6 months, you’ll understand) so don't expect too many red wine recommendations from this blog. Back to the point of this story, on a day to day basis I am a very obsessive compulsive person in general who needs things to be perfect or I'm constantly adjusting things. Not like cleaning things, but I get very agitated with a lot of things and keep trying to fix them and adjust them (I almost feel bad for people that mess up my macchiato). My friends think its hilarious that I'm OCD and irritable about everything and ergo gremlinly until I get a drink in my hand and then I relax a smidge. But yes, Vodka gremlin, not that I'm an alcoholic, but I enjoy my premium beverages, and it's a necessary component of the nicer 'easy going' me. |

After wasting 2 years on a guy who clearly wasted no time on me, I wanted to make a list to make sure I didn't date a guy of his 'caliber' ever again.
