Girlie Drink of the Week
I bet y’all thought I was done pushing girlie stuff here, after last week’s Booze of the Week, eh?
Not. A. Chance.
Look at it this way: some people wear a hairshirt. Y’all get to read my drink posts!
Anyway, this week’s offering is a simple drink. No complex mixology required. Which is good, because this stuff can go to your head really fast. So I heard.
French Ginger Ale
- 1 oz. Chambord Vodka
- 3 oz. Ginger ale
Pour vodka into ice-filled glass, and then pour ginger ale over it. Garnish with blackberries and crystallized ginger.
Nice, spring drink. I can’t wait for our two weeks of winter to be over so I can enjoy it outside


I enjoy reading your drink articles, even though I’m more of a wine person.
You love me! YOU REALLY LOVE ME!!!
So if I actually have Chambord, how much plain vodka do I add. And if I cut the gingerale, would that make it a Chambord martini? Would I garnish it with skittles?
I hate to say it, but I had to look up Chambord vodka. Sure looks pretty, and maybe it would keep The Wife away from my Reyka. It better not turn Captain Morgan into a twink, though.
