Taaka: Worst Vodka I've Ever Had

-



Want to read about the worse vodka I've ever had. Well, OK, if you must.

Taaka is the worse vodka I have ever gulped down. The only flavor present is alcohol. For the price, what can you expect? Much more is the answer.

Sazerac Company, based out of New Orleans, Louisiana, has been producing this "vodka" since 1959. Which is a long time to produce something that tastes like ass. Actually, ass tastes better than this. Speaking from experience on this one. Don't judge me. Especially if you are a prude who has never indulged. Don't knock it till you try it or in this case tossed a salad with intent.

Taaka does have some redeeming factors. Sazerac may have unknowingly created a shit vodka that isn’t that bad. Here are two reasons that may give you a second look at whatever unholy shelf this Taaka sits on.

Price

Over this weekend, the misses and I stopped by one of favorite haunts, Specs. For those not familiar, Specs is a chain liquor store that wishes it was Total Wine. For those not familiar, Total Wine is the rich man's Specs. Kind of like the heirachy I created with Waffle House, Denny's, IHOP. If your country does not have any of these, the best way to explain is think of one shitty place, then think of another that's not as bad as the original one you thought of. 

Anyways, I walked in as usual looking for something cheap and a lot of. I wanted another vodka like Nikolai. Should've just got another Nikolai, but whatever. I spotted Taaka with its eleven-dollar price tag. 

1.75L of 80 proof vodka, for that price was a steal. Hell, I'm writing this after a good gulp of the stuff. Barely put a dent on the bottle. For the price, not worth it. 

Unless you find it cheaper and here's why.

Cheap Mixer

For the price you have a mixer that masks well with soda. I used Dr. Pepper I got earlier with my dinner from a chicken tender joint. If your country doesn't offer breaded deep-fried chicken tenders, fucking move! Chicken is best served in this manner. Don't believe me? Well your fucking dumb for not. 

Initially when I drank Taaka neat I realized it was possible to make a drink that was truly horrible compared to all other alcoholic beverages. They all burn the same, except Taaka. Taaka decided it was going to set the bar for pain when consuming. 

But I found it's weakness. Wasn't difficult either. Just mix it. For a cheap mixer I suggest this shit. Fuck everything else, Sazerac got down to the basics on what makes drinking fun. The alcohol. If I owned a bar, Taaka would be my house vodka. After three drinks you wouldn't know any better.

Final thoughts

Taaka mixed is great for the budget drinker such as myself. I'm trying to see straight as I type because this garbage is kicking in. If you want something that has flavor look elsewhere. If you're like me who doesn't want to spend a lot and just wants that quick buzz, then grab a bottle. Small investment for cheap fun. 

Taaka pairs well with Tetris. Cliche. I know but after a few mixed drinks you won't care how close you are to the top of the screen. You might pass out before you get to the top anyway.




Enjoy your drinks and game on.

Three Solo RPG Resources

Playing an RPG solo can be difficult. It doesn't have to be with these suggested resources. I admit that I do not get out as much as I should. It can be difficult some days to leave the house. Especially now that the weather here in Texas has just gotten bad. Not that weather influences my decisions anyway. I do not mind being introverted. Some say I am missing out and I agree to a certain point. I have played DnD 5 th edition online using the site https://roll20.net/ . There is something missing when you do not have that human interaction. I played groups with people all over the world. The problem is you do not know these people and sometimes the group does not always get along. It is easier to leave an online chat versus in person. Instead of meeting faceless people, I would rather play alone. Looks daunting at first. The people I do want to play with have no interest in roleplaying. I understand. Not everyone wants to. I am not always up for going out to game

Mini Liquor Bottles: The Good And The Bad

-

This post is brought to you by four mini liquor bottles. Small doses but added all up together they give quite the punch. I'm going to name off the good and bad of these little devils. Let’s start positive with the good. 1. Price On average you will be spending anywhere from a dollar to two. Small investment for a quick taste. Beer may not be for everyone. A little bit of liquor makes for a good alternative. 2. Variety Inexpensive bottles are the best way to try out new drinks. A handful of bottles can give you the opportunity to try drinks you normally wouldn't. Not all tequila is good. I managed to find my new favorite today. Only a dollar was spent, and I can live with that. Imagine dropping forty-five dollars on a bottle you hate. I would still drink it. I can't speak for others. Now for the bad  1. Only one bottle Let's say you find a drink you like.  Great. The problem is you only bought one bottle and the li

I am going to tell you my 2019 recipe for making Brass Monkey. Super simple and you'll be asking why you never thought of it. Been a little while since I have posted. There's a good reason for my absence. It has something to do with this recipe. My new favorite drink. Cue the Beastie Boys. I'm talking Brass Monkey. How did I get to this point in life that the only way to numb the pain is with a 90s house party staple? Well, it all started with underage drinking. Statistically, if you were an underage drinker then you are more likely to become a heavy drinker as an adult. Or whatever. I swear I read that somewhere. I am going to tell you how I create this tangy, poor man's drink my way. First, let's get out the way on how to properly prepare Brass Monkey or specifically what it was and is now. Brass Monkey Original Recipe This may come as a shock, but the original recipe has nothing to do with a 40. In fact, the original Brass Monkey originates back to
