I want that picture. Thank you. Too bad I can't have him. I guess a martini lunch will have to do.

I had no idea vodka could be made from anything other than potatoes.

Great list.

I always seem to forget that gin is made from juniper berries. & then I remember why gin isn't the most pleasant smell around.

You learn something new everyday, that's for sure. Apparently I had no idea where drinks came from. Cool list.

You have to wonder how man discovered to make some of these drinks.

My hubby works at a winery so I knew some of these. I also saw a show on how they make Tijuana; they bake the agape plant before they squeeze the juice out of it. Apparently it's very sweet that's why it makes great Tijuana.

Happy TT.

vodka is funny stuff. I won't get into my prejudices on vodka, as they were instilled by Russians when I was very young. I have strong opinions about vodka. lol.

We aren't big drinkers here, but I often wonder exactly what the ingredients list for, say, Godiva Liqueur would look like.
