What You Should Be Drinking


As you read this hung over from the cosmos you consumed last night, I encourage you to think about the mistake you've made. By following my simple recommendations, you can live the lifestyle of your wildest fantasies. 

Speaking of wild fantasies, I have been a die hard Bond fan my entire life. I remember going to see the debut of Brosnon in Goldeneye with my dad in '95 like it was yesterday. The best part of the holidays for me was curling up on the sofa every night and enjoying the 15 days of 007 on TBS. I promise to dive down to the deep end of this obsession at a later date, but as the title dictates, your looking for a thirst quencher.

Seeing as the newest Bond film Quantum of Solace debuted today on DVD, it's only fitting for you to be drinking like a British Spy. So destroy every coffee mug in sight and empty the rest of the milk into the cat's bowl. It's time to mature your palette.

The Vesper
3 oz Gordon's gin
1 oz vodka
1/2 oz Lillet wine

It's time for you to drink like the successful creative director you desire to be. Simply drop these bad boys into your mixer and shake (obviously) until ice cold. Strain into your best cocktail glass and drop in a large thin slice of lemon peel.  But please cease the lil wayne your currently listening to and tune into your local smooth jazz station. You don't want to draw attention from yourself or your beverage. And there is no better soundtrack to life than a smooth jazz number. But you need to play the part on your end. There is a grand tradition of awesomeness behind this beverage, and it would be a travesty to tarnish the legacy. So squeeze into your newest Tom Ford suit or just pretend like you even know what I'm talking about. It's a complex lifestyle, and it's completely natural for you to be confused. Try to visualize the Complex level from Goldeneye. You know there is a shield in that yellow corridor, just like I know there is a part of you that wants to drink something vintage. Find your quantum tonight by drinking like a true gentleman. It sure beats stirring up even more controversy. Because if your like me, you're much more accustomed to shaking up the drama.
