42 Feijoa Vodka.

[Conquiztador]

Tonight I did finish all my beer (Mistake, will not happen again!!!)

So I had a look in the cupboard. And hiding behind all the lolly water and cheap wine was a bottle of vodka.

Now as I am from a cold country where we walk around with a bottle of Koskenkorva (http://www.kossu.org/eng/spirit/) inside our jacket sleeve (not to be tough, but so that the drink does not freeze in the minus 40 degree winter...) I smiled. "Brilliant" I was thinking. "I can live with this: No beer, but a bottle of see throgh".

As I took the first sip I instantly found my self thinking that my oldest boy was playing a trick on his old man: The vodka tasted like liniment!

But when I had a look at the bottle it stated that the vodka was flavoured with Fejoa.

(And just to clarify: I have 2 Fejoa trees on my section and I love the fruit)

What? Vodka is vodka and is supposed to taste like vodka. I mean, would you like your beer to taste like liquorish or the petrol to smell like toffee??

What is the world coming to?

Do you drink this sheit and similar whatsit?

[fireball]

:sick:

there is only two ways to drink that stuff one is mix it with apple juice (not my thing)
the other is mix it in a shot with apple sours and madori

[Livvy]

Sorry man, I do... But only if it's the best stuff there is.

Vodka doesn't have much flavour you gotta admit. I prefer vodka with something because of it. However I prefer to mix for myself.

Just keep red Smirnoff away from me.

Alcohol poisoning every time without fail.

Well since Waylander aint online tonight, bugger ya mums phone number Livvy, whats your no? :mobile:



Me, I like spirits straight over 2 cubes of ice, whether whisky or vodka, because of gut problems, alchohol leaves me feeling like shit, so it's good stuff all the way now, I do like the 42 Below straight vodka, Johnie Walker Green,Blue Label, Glenfidditch Special Reserve and so on.

[Devil]

I drink the feijoa one with sprite. Plain vodka or vanilla vodka with coke.
Lemon stuff with juice or sprite.

[Steam]

I drink the Feijoa 42 Below straight with a few cubes of ice, and take tiny tiny sips, the better to savour the flavour. I do enjoy flavoured vodkas, they are number one in my Spirits Toplist. But a good malty beer is my fave.

[Swoop]

Drink it the proper Russian way...
Unscrew the cap and crush it. No need for it, since it will not be used again on that bottle.

Stolichnaya!

42 Below isn't too bad - the clean stuff, not the flavoured...

[Street Gerbil]

There are two tastes that I accept in vodka. Vodka should taste like Stoli or like Smirnoff. IMO adulterated (i.e. flavored) vodkas are for ...ghm... the better half of the humankind. But that's purist in me speaking. Your mileage may vary.

[Sam I Am]

Fejoa 42b with "Chi" tasts very medical and suprisingly nice

[Blue Velvet]

Neat, strong and not flavoured.

[Quasievil]

Well I have a 42 below Fejoia with apple juice each night and love it, nice and refreshing !

[Joni]

Makes a stunning Feijoa cocktail when mixed with the right ingredients. :shifty:

I think Denis Leary said it best when he said:

Did I miss a fucking meeting with the coffee?

The vodka that should be consumed should be good quality stuff. Absolut or 42 Below will do. Straight from the freezer, no ice, no mixers. I don't care if it's flavoured or not.

what does it matter, nothing you eat or drink touches your toungue !!

Big oversized quasi thrower !!:devil2:

[jrandom]

The feijoa stuff's OK for shots if it's kept in the freezer.

Gave me a wicked hangover the one night I did drink a fair bit of it in one go, though.

I agree with the previous posters who recommend it as a base for fruity mixers.

:yes:

[Mikkel]

Since when has there been anything wrong with the taste of ethanol?

It's like the smell of gasoline, it's bad for you - but still you know it's good for you too! ;)


But yes, those artificially flavoured spirits can really give you a bad bad hangover. Once I even managed to get a hangover while actually drinking the bloody stuff.


Anyway, what's next? Strawberry flavoured single malts?

42 Below Feijoa Vodka, over ice (I bought some lovely little heart shaped cube trays .... awwww) with pineapple juice. We girls discovered it at Cornerstone in Tauranga last summer - it's associated with many happy memories (and some lost ones!). Hmmmm.

Last month I was sitting outside Kelford Cams in Christchurch for a few hours letting the boys get on with getting the sidecar ready for Levels, I had my Ipod on, and after about four FVPJ's apparently started singing quietly to myself :whistle: .... after about six I wasn't so quiet :wari:..... The best bit was we didn't have any glasses to drink out of so I was drinking out of the 2008 NZ Sidecar GrandPrix Swinger's trophy ..... tasted even more fabulous than usual!!! :first:

Stoli's good stuff too. Buggered if I'll ever drink that rot-gut Smirnoff again...

But frozen, straight, with maybe some smoked salmon on a cracker to kill the aftertaste... How I got taught to drink vodka when in Russia! :drinknsin

[Bren]

never tried the feijoa stuff....never will. I like Vodka too much to blaspheme it by adding shit to it.
Three spirits in my opinion need to be drunk straight. Vodka, Whiskey and Tequila!:drinkup:

She knows... She buys it for me!

But a hot toddy when you're sick is damn good... Hot whiskey, lemon and honey.

Yet I agree with the tequila...

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila,
FLOOR. :niceone:

[MIXONE]

If you swill the first shot around in your mouth before drinking it stuns all your taste buds so no worries from then on.You can even write pretty good bs after a few.(think Frankenstein):weird:

[hXc]

Mix vodka with red bull. And jagermeister with red bull too.
Actually, lots of stuff with red bull is good.

[Livvy]

You fotget Absinthe.:niceone:

Oh lord. Too true. I should've remembered that one!


the only way to drink that shit is with a tube straight to your stomoch so ya cant even taste the crap!

It's just aniseed... Personally I like it better than whiskey or tequila!


just reminded me of that piss-take of "my sharona"...the "one corona" one...must look it up again

That's a good drinking song.

Ahh, so you've been digging huh? :laugh:
What else have you found? :devil2:

[Livvy]

I don't dig, people just tell me things offhand and don't realise I store it all away for later use. If I wanted to dig I could probably find out plenty but that's no fun.

Half the fun of getting to know people is letting them tell you about themselves, not finding out from someone else. But that might just be my view of the world. :bleh:

[AllanB]

FEIJOA - he he he it sounds like a girls bit. :2thumbsup:2thumbsup

[JimO]

i must be the only one who likes burbon, used to mix my own but now its 8% woodies or beam

[sAsLEX]

Not just the russian way mate, for three ANZAC days in a row we went out to Whaiheke Island to the RSA there.... after the parade we seemed to always win the raffle for the bottle of rum which was summarily opened and lid crushed!

[Swampdonkey]

Mate opened a bottle of that shite out on the barge one morning.Swigs straight from the bottle all round n round n round.......what a drunken arvo that was,still barred from some joint for making a bit of a racket....put it back in the cupboard....

[Bren]

9 corona's much better buddy.


AAAH is that why i couldnt find it?

[Livvy]

Apparently.

Didn't you google it first?
