If this strike thing drags on, I have a 40 of Smirnoff I picked up in the US a while back. It's yours if you want it.
Thanks for the offer but I picked up an extra 4 40s of Cuervo Especiale Tequiila Resposado and 2 of the largest Cointreau so we should be good for a few weeks of Margaritas.
I also picked up a couple dozen ciders for the wife but they were already sold out of her brand so I got something calling itself a "craft" cider. I assumed it was something like a craft beer... small batch brewed by an independent cider maker from all natural ingredients.
Wrong. She made a face after her first sip and handed it to me to taste. Yuck. Reading the extremely small fine print of the ingredient list revealed that the number 1 ingredient was water, followed by "cider", along with flavoring and preservatives. They should be charged with false advertising.
I guess it's my own fault for buying it without reading the fine print but I'd just found out about the impending strike while at the ball park and stopped at the liquor store on the way home. Still, it literally left a bad taste in my mouth.
Sounds like you've go it covered.
It's a short trip across the border as well and they don't have a centralized gov't distribution system in NY for alcohol. Hard to believe a company could get away with selling "craft" cider that wasn't made from pressed apples and 100% natural. Probably one of those pop-up hand sanitizer companies needed to branch out after the covid thing passed.
Speaking of craft beers, I had a dealcoholized beer called Partake (I'd never heard of it before) last week - it was a pale ale and it was kind of fruity, citrus tasting but definitely a beer. I checked the ingredients wondering what they put in to make it taste fruity and it only had 4 ingredients listed - water, malted barely, hops and yeast so I guess the flavour is all in the hops. Not too bad and only 10 calories a can. Apparently, they also make an IPA and a blonde.
