Smores martini. Chocolate and marshmallow vodkas with a chocolate and graham cracker dipped rim and flaming marshmallows on a stick.

Well that’s definitely a grown-up version of the traditional camping treat, huh?

The full tutorial is on Instructables with lots of pictures. The idea is pretty simple, though. It’s marshmallow vodka and chocolate vodka. The glass rim is dipped in melted chocolate and then dipped in crushed graham crackers. And the garnish is simply marshmallows on a skewer that have been set on fire to ‘roast.’

How fun is that?

Breakfast of champions…or losers?

Georgi vodka. Flavored vodkas like waffle, popcorn, bubblegum, raspberry, whipped cream, mango and green apple.

I’m really not sure I understand this whole idea of pairing alcohol with breakfast. Is this some variation of the hangover cure that tells you to have a beer to clear up your symptoms? Or is it a way to keep drinking until sunset? Or has drinking become so boring that it needs to be infused with breakfast flavors, too?

Either way, Georgi created this vodka for national waffle day back in August. It was served at the Holiday Inn Express in the form of waffle-tinis….the vodka on ice with a mini waffle on the rim of the glass. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a picture of the real one, but this one is pretty close to compare to.

Beer that won’t freeze – Pole-axed

Bottles of frozen beer covered in ice in a cooler Britons will be able to enjoy Pole-axed beer that won't freeze down to -90 degrees

Looks a little chilly, huh?

I guess I never thought about how scientists and researchers at the South Pole might want to drink….but are stuck in such cold temperatures that beer won’t stay liquid. Apparently that was a problem, but it’s being fixed now. They have figured out a way to make it so it won’t freeze all the way down to temperatures as low as –90 which include making it 6.7% alcohol and removing all the air. Unfortunately, they won’t be able to drink it until Christmas Day, as it’s being sent as a gift to not be opened until that day.
