V is Valentines (and Vodka)

I recently had the opportunity to try the luxury Polish vodka brand Wyborowa (aka Wybo). When I am asked to try out a new vodka (new to me), I often skip the suggested mixed drinks and go right to the true test of a good vodka – how good it tastes on the rocks. And this one is delicious. So drink it straight up or on the rocks kids. The vodka is crystal clear and smooth; it features a slight hint of anise on the nose and a slightly spicy finish. But if you are a mixed drink fan, here is one that will be great for VDay (and it’s pink) – the Chamble.

Recipe:

  • 40 ml Wybo
  • 30 ml lemon juice
  • 20 ml simple syrup
  • 10 ml raspberry liquer

Directions:

    Combine Wybo, lemon juice and simple syrup into a rocks glass. Stir.Top with crushed ice.Drizzle the raspberry liquer over the crushed ice so that it trickles down into the drink.Garnish with two raspberries.EnjoyRepeat

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
