Absolut Alcoholic

Have anyone tried Absolut's new Absolut Mango?!!




I bought the bottle months ago when I was in Singapore before it was launched in Malaysia. I love the bottle and I think the flavor is rather exotic for a Swedish company. I was tempted to open the bottle but there were no special occasions to celebrate so I left the bottle on the shelves. Then when I was in Labuan recently, I can't stop myself from buying the second bottle so that I can open the second bottle to drink and keep the first bottle. Sounds rather silly right?!! Who cares? It's only about RM35 for a bottle in Labuan. That's like the price of 2 bottles of beer at the pub. So I brought the Absolut Mango to Hue Gee's IBM colleagues gathering a few weeks ago at her condo. We had Absolut Mango mixed with mango juice while playing Taboo. I was hooked onto Taboo ever since. It was such a good party game!


Well, it tasted like mango except with the addition of alcoholic taste. This mango juice can get you drunk! I have quite a collection of Absolut Vodka at home (Vodka, Kurant, Mandarin.....), and actually I have quite an extensive range of alcohol at home.... In bedroom cupboard, I have Hennesy, Otard, Martell Gordon Blue, Johnie Walker, Black Label, XO, Glenfiddich, Jack Daniels, Chivas, Absolut, Grey Goose, Wines and other flavored liquor. Let's have a party in my room!!!


Honestly, the vodka that I liked best has to be Grey Goose. It's a premium vodka and it's 3 times the price of Absolut but the quality that you're getting is worth it. I was first introduced to drinking Grey Goose by my friend A who works for Bacardi Martini. After that I loved it! I still like Absolut but what I liked best about Absolut are actually its bottles, flavors and advertisements. They are meant to be collectibles.


Now you know why the ads are so attractive?!!

Wow, you are really into alcoholic drinks! Just take care of your liver, yes?

-eiling- said...

Foongpc: I'm not really an alcoholic. But when I drink, I can really drink. I try to control by only drinking once a week max. If there's a quota of 2 glasses per day, I think I have used up my quota for the whole year!

I think you sat on some middle age man's lap while you were drunk? Sniff sniff….Mr Hefner
Looks like warts to me. Will manifest itself soon enough.

Did you get to suck on a big bamboo as well? Ahem..I meant cigar

-eiling- said...

Z3ph: Thanks for your concern. I'm completely cured today. Hmm.. I wonder if it's warts, could it be cured in a day? Whether I had a cigar or not is not your concern.
