As it's Friday night..... Cheap Vodka

[ŽižkovClaret]

I hear that wonders can be achieved by sticking cheap vodka through a brita filter a few times.

anyone tried it?

[Rowls]

Aren't filters supposed to let water through?

I can't imagine what it would achieve other than spoiling the filter.

What's it supposed to do? I haven't tried it but presumably there's some kind of "benefit"?

Well the accepted wisdom/theory is, that vodka is produced by distilling through charcoal, which is what a brita filter is at its basic level, so in theory is should be like a further rudimentary distillation / filtration.

It may, indeed, be utter bollix

Just drink twice as much.

Or Dilute with turps.

at 3 quid a litre turps can be more expensive haha

I'd always assumed the distillation was done by ... well ... distillation.

Hoping you have a fun night but I'm fearful for your water filter - they're not cheap!

Ha oh im not doing it yet. Hoping for a guinea pig haha

Ive got a bottle ow JW red label and 2 litres of coke zero waiting for me.

(It shouldn't work, and i wouldn't put coke in anything better, but it really does work)

Whilst Turps tastes great and has a high alcohol content it, inevitably, leaves you feeling hollow inside.

[JohnMac]

It's really difficult to paint the town red if you are drinking turps...

[JohnMac]

I know because I tried it once in New Mexico but only succeeded in cleaning up the town....

[tim_noone]

I got a litre of turps from dewhirsts today in nelson...didn't realise you could drink it,what's the alternative for cleaning my brushes?

[claretabroad]

Yep. It'll work as long as you use a charcoal filter

At the opposite side of the scale is some stuff made of spuds in Hereford:



Fancy a double over ice ?

Get a mortgage.

This is my 'Session Vodka'. Made in Scotland with its world class vodka distilleries.



Ideal for drinking both at home and on the streets with your pals.

Not local but it might remind you of home!
