That would be me! Too bad I found my drinking buddy and she lives in Kansas I am so glad you liked the mixers b/c I thought they tasted like s**t Maybe I am doing something wrong? I ran out of vermouth so that may be it. I used Smirnoff vodka...do you think I need to kick it up a notch with a different vodka? Which do you use?

Here here too bad you live so far away!!!!! I use Belvedere vodka which is a little more pricy but not rediculous. It as less sugar and carbs so I like it. Now i'm not gonna lie I use more alcohol than they call for and I also use some lemon/lime depending on which drink you are using. if you play w/ the recipe it is really good!
