The Dangers of Flavor......

It seems like every time you turn around, there is a new flavor of vodka. I can remember when there were only a few different flavors, like Lime Vodka, and it was pretty bad. (But, we managed to choke it down anyways.)

The latest flavor we acquired is “Cake.” Yup, cake. I opened the bottle, smelled it….amazing….it smelled exactly like cake! (How do they do that?) The customer who brought this particular flavor to our attention, also gave us a recipe for it. Cake Vodka, pineapple juice and a dab of grenadine. It tastes just like Pineapple upside down cake!

Here’s where the danger comes in…..it tastes so good, anyone could just swill it down, and not even realize they were drinking liquor. (Of course I took a sip and sampled it.) When the singer arrived at work, I made her a “Coconut Cake Martini.” Way too good! I’m going to have a great time experimenting with this one. I’ve already got some ideas I want to try for a “Red Velvet Cake Martini.” Hey, if someone can make a drink called “Cotton Candy,” I can make Red Velvet Cake!

Oh oh oh! How about Devil’s Food Cake! Liquid chocolate in a glass. I had to get to chocolate sooner or later, since I consider chocolate to be a food group. Oh wait! Let’s take the chocolate thing even further, and go with Black Forest cake!

Did I mention I really like cake? With all the banquets and parties we have at the restaurant, we end up eating an inordinate amount of cake….every kind you can think of. Yup….this is gonna be a lot of fun.
