I was lucky enough to sample some of Donald Trump’s vodka and i must share with you that this is the finest vodka i have ever tasted.
As we all know Donald Trump owns an empire of business ranging from hotels to clothes so when i got the opportunity to sample some of his vodka i presumed it would be average as i have never heard that he owned his own vodka brand and wow have i been missing out!
The taste of the vodka is to high quality and demands the same respect as Donald Trump himself. Not only does he offer original vodka it also comes in orange, raspberry, grape and citron flavours. Unfortunately i have not sampled any of the other flavours but i am keen to try the raspberry flavour, especially on a hot summer’s day.
This is going to make me sound vain now but i am a huge sucker and will buy into anything if i like the packaging and if you are lucky enough to get your hands on a bottle of Trump vodka you definitely will keep the bottle! The bottle is unique with a luxury design, to be fair it has been designed by New York artist Milton Glaser so quality is expected.
There is one slight negative comment i have to make…you will wake up with a sore head!!! But trust me it is worth it!

I attempted to write a post yesterday but my hangover got the better of me and eating chocolate all day was much more appealing than trying to work a computer!
As you can see from my last post i was pretty excited for the weekend and drinking Sex On The Beach cocktails!!! So as planned we started off with the cocktails and then headed to a curry house and drank white wine, note-to-self never ask for house white wine in a curry house as it arrives in a fish bowl with no label and looks likes a urine sample from the doctors and funnily enough tastes like one!!!
Anyway less of that…The night was going well until it come to drinking shots time, Sambuka shots yes, Absinthe shots big NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
My first experience with Absinthe was when i was 18 and sat in bar, i had my cocky head on and believed that i could drink anything, i mean it couldn’t be much stronger than my blue WKD that i was drinking! Ok that’s what i thought at the time and o how wrong i was! I knocked the shot back in one and the next thing i know i was leaning over the bar struggerling to breathe and violently being sick, all that in the space of 5 seconds! Classy! Since my ever so embarrassing experience i have purposely stayed clear of Absinthe on a night out and have no intensions of ever drinking the dreaded poison again!
That’s why on Saturday when my mates got a round of Absinthe in i proudly rejected and watched in horror as they downed there shot. There faces said it all when they finished and so did there behaviour, if you want to pull your crazy ex who will not leave you alone, who you have been trying to avoid for months then Absinthe will make you think there Megan Fox and you will be straight in there arms again…well until the alcohol is out of your blood stream, that’s what happened to one of the guys i was out with on Saturday and another one spent the rest of the night lay on a bathroom floor with there head in the toilet, nice!!!
So if you want my opinion i think your bloody crazy if you drink Absinthe and if you have never tried it before don’t try now as you are not missing out! I love shots like Sambuka, Tequila and After Shock and these are all pretty harsh but they taste like water compared to Absinthe.
If you have had any bad experience with Absinthe let us know?????

It’s Friday and i am sooo excited that the week is nearly over and it is now time to play! My taste buds do like to sample a drink or two on Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
For tonight i am only having a couple so i have bought 3 bottles of wine from Sainsbury’s for £10.00…really that’s how cheap the wine is in there at the moment!
Tomorrow is the night that i am really looking forward for as i have my drinking partner in crime coming over so in true tradition we will be mixing cocktails to get the night started. As the weather is meant to be sunny there is nothing more refreshing than a Sex On The Beach cocktail and its easy to make and doesn’t take much to perfect the drink.
See below for how to make the most delish cocktail:
Ingredients –
Vodka
Peach schnapps
Cranberry juice
Grapefruit juice
Orange slice
Crushed Ice
Make sure you also have a highball glass and pink straws and a mini straw umbrella!
Now the fun part…firstly fill the glass with crushed ice then pour the vodka and peach schnapps into the glass until you get halfway (that’s my measurements anyway you might want to make it weaker!) then pour in the cranberry juice and finish with the grapefruit juice and stir! To finish off drop in the orange slice and don’t forget the umbrella and straw!
Enjoy!!!
