A Good Drop: All about alcohol.

Hey everyone,

Welcome to episode 79!  This week, we're talking about how over time the various alcohol brands have really stepped it up to make their drink more eye catching in the bottle shop.

Here's a list of the drinks we talked about in the show:

Viniq - The drink with the pearl dust.  Has been discontinued.

Goldschlager - Gold Flake Liqueur from Germany.

Smirnoff Cinnamon Vodka - Gold Flake Flavoured Vodka.

Gold Flakes Supreme Vodka - Gold Flake Vodka.

Butterfly (Blue) Pea Flower Extract - The Colour Changing stuff.

Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac - The 3000 mL version has the bottle that goes for $4,000 and costs about $34,000.

Napoleon Bust Brandy - Bottle shaped like a mini statue of, you guessed it, Napoleon.

Paris Seduction Brandy - Bottle shaped like the Eiffel Tower.

Essential 1800 Artists Series - Bottles with Guest Artist labels.

Baba Yaga Absinthe - Looks relatively normal until you peel the label off revealing a huge toothy and creepy smile.

1000 Acres Vodka - Square cylinder bottle, superb minimalist design.

Mucha Liga Bravo Blanco Tequila - Our second drink with the bottle shaped like a Mexican Wrestler's Mask
