I absolutely detest the dreaded "wine cooler." Who are they kidding, it's not wine at all and it doesn't make you "cool" one bit. Some of the other malt beverages are ok. I was a HUGE Zima fan in the 90s but of course, I was probably the only one, because they quit making it. I was so bummed.
A year or so ago I discovered Kinky, the liqueur. They make a pink and a blue version, both versions are delicious and fruity, and it's a lower alcohol liqueur so it's good for shots without caused unnecessary behavior problems (we've been there, right girls?). A couple weeks ago a friend mentioned to me that she had tried a "Kinky drink that's like Smirnoffs" so my interest was immediately piqued! I was on a mission to find it!
Of course, none of the stores near the Little Lake House had it. I was not surprised. It takes new things a while to make their way out here, if ever. Lucky for me I was able to catch a ride to a bigger store in a bigger town and Voila !!!! They had them!! I grabbed a 6 pack to sample and made my way home to tuck them safely in the cold fridge for a future happy hour.
24 hours later......I am having Happy Hour! Imagine that! These are really good !!! Fruity and refreshing, I thought they tasted a lot like pink grapefruit and mangoes. They have 5% alcohol, which is similar to a light beer, really, so they are a good summertime sipper!
Grab some friends, some Kinky cocktails and hit the beach!

Spent one night in Las Vegas waiting to catch an early morning flight home. Went to the hotel restaurant for dinner. I'm rather fond of the dreaded wine coolers and I thought kinky pink looked like something I might like. I really enjoyed it and am now on a mission to find it at home. Worth a taste if you like sweet beverages.
ReplyDeleteI rockin' the kitchen when celebrating occasions. Should try this. Looking for wine coolers to preserve wine once opened & prevent the oxidation process which causes deterioration. I've seen a site where you can find awesome wine coolers.
