Whenever I go out to dinner, my go-to drink before the meal is the elusive Vodka-7up. Well, it's not the actual drink that is elusive…… it's the name. (which is surprisingly lacking) Like most human beings , I am lazy when it comes to names. (Ever notice how every name on the universe will eventually get nicknamed down to to one syllable?) So getting back to my Vodka- 7up, I don't feel the need to spell out all of the ingredients every time, especially for a drink that is so standard. Then, the perfect name hit me like a ton of coasters……a V-7!!! This should stand the test of time. I kept to the formula by keeping it short and sweet while parodying of the V-8 Vegetable juice. (on a side note, I am a big fan of that drink as well) But most importantly, it is intuitive enough for bartenders to understand the ingredients. So I am officially calling out the peeps in our community to help me market this name. The next time you are in the mood for a Vodka-7up, call it a V-7. When the days come that bartenders don't stare back uncomprehendingly, that means the name is catching on!
Happy drinking,
Craig
Add a shot of Raspberry liqueur to that vodka 7up and then you truly have an unforgettable V-7.
V-7 's in the sunny carribean taste even better!!! How are you? The V-7 since being back in even sunnier Scotland are also catching on! Alan & Gill
Hey there,
Welcome back to everyday life. Glad to hear the sun is shining in Scotland ! (t's cold and rainy in Philly today.) The Rendezvous resort was amazing! I so miss St Lucia. We have pics for you that include the street party on our digital camera. We will email to you soon. Also, I can be reached directly at holdthatmayo@gmail.com
Thanks so much for helping the v7 cross overseas!!
