Friday Night Moscow Mule Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

I know it's late, but I hope I caught a few DU night-owls out flying around...


I love you all...

[ProudLib72]

1. Oh God I hope this hasn't been asked before

With TP, over the front or down the back? Quick man, QUICK!!!

[Aristus]

3. Over the front. Always...

[Harker]

23. Not if there are cats about. n/t

[SamKnause]

2. I'll bite.

What are the ingredients in a Moscow Mule ?

I know I could Google it, but you seem lonely.

How many have you had tonight ?

[Aristus]

4. One, and a couple of single shots. Huckleberry vodka. Yum!...

Vodka (any brand, any flavor, although citrus flavors are best. Absolut Lime is a good one...), ginger beer, a sprig of mint, and a wedge of lime or some lime juice, poured over ice in a copper mug.

Enjoy!

[SamKnause]

7. Sounds delicious.

Enjoy.

[TexasTowelie]

5. I'm hanging around for most of the night.

I have a 24 oz. Smirnoff Ice and Stouffer's Meat Lover's lasagna on the menu for tonight. Extra cheese on the lasagna so I can clog some arteries.

I need to break down and buy some vodka or Grand Marnier since I feel cheap drinking malt liquor. Enjoy the Moscow Mule and keep some Barkeeper's Friend nearby to clean the copper mugs.

[Aristus]

6. I keep my copper mug spanking-clean. Always.

Good to see you!

[Brother Buzz]

8. Where is your vodka made?

And that ginger beer can be the deal breaker. What brand do you like?

[Aristus]

9. I've been buying Smirnoff vodka a lot lately for precisely that reason.

But my current bottle, huckleberry, was distilled by the 360 company, which claims to be eco-friendly.

That's cool, but the flavor alone sold me.

I don't remember the brand of ginger beer. It's downstairs in the fridge, and I'm not moving from my seat for love or money...

10. Eco-friendly translates to planting a mess of trees on the forty acres surrounding their distillery

Pretty slick marketing.

We worked with the Missouri Department of Conservation to launch FOREST 360, an effort to plant indigenous trees on 40 acres of the land around the distillery. It is estimated that one tree absorbs 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide in its lifetime, so the planting of these trees will help cut down on the carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming. We have also invited their business partners to participate in this project, and to date over 225 trees have been planted through these efforts.

11. Excellent. Thank you.

[NNadir]

19. Cool. I almost never drink hard liquor, but if I did, Smirnoff would be it, just for this ad. n/t

[California_Republic]

12. What's your name mean?

[Aristus]

13. It's a Latin version of the Greek name Aristocles, which was Plato's real name.

Although there are a few saints named Aristus in the Catholic Church's register of saints.

[cilla4progress]

14. Need a name for a vodka drink I invented.

Effen vodka (Dutch) - orange and cucumber, with sparkling water and a mint sprig.

Great to have you back here, Aristus! Just red wine and a little weed for me tonight. Thank god I live where it's legal! All those years of stressing through job changes and etc. GONE!

[Aristus]

15. What do you think of 'Orange House'?

A play on House of Orange, the Dutch Royal family.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

16. Did you bring enough for everyone?

[Aristus]

20. I brought enough for you.

Does that count?

[Lady Freedom Returns]

22. Ah, thank you!

[stonecutter357]

17. how do you feel today ?

[Lady Freedom Returns]

18. Something tells me that he won't be up for a while...

...and he's going to need a lot of this

[Aristus]

21. Very well.

Slept like a baby...

And yes, I'm having a nice hot cup of
