MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM....
Last night I felt like I really wanted a drink. Not to get drunk, mind you, just a drink. I had heard good things about Hpnotiq and thought I might try it. After talking a bit to my friend, Brandon, who said it was really good and quite fruity, I decided that I'd go ahead and buy a bottle of the 25 dollar alcoholic beverage.
Lemme tell ya... best stuff I've had in a LOOOOOOONG while.
Hpnotiq is a mix of premium vodka (and trust me, it's the good stuff. If you've ever had a drink mixed with the "lower shelf" vodka, you know exactly what I'm talking about), cognac and different fruit juices. The color is a sort of light electric blue and is very pretty in the glass.
The bottle is pretty awesome too.
I was expecting the first sip to hit a little hard like most alcohol I've tried but this stuff is like candy. The only difference is the little after breath of alcohol that follows any hard liquor.
I didn't want to drink on an empty stomach so I had some chicken salad before I drank any more and mom told me that she had just made some banana pudding. I finished my chicken salad and grabbed a bowl of the pudding and retreated to my room. I had prepared a glass full to the top of ice and filled it to about halfway. By the time I got back to it, popped in a dvd of Criminal Minds and settled down, the Hpnotiq was chilled just right.
The drink was still just as yummy and the banana pudding was PERFECT with it, adding the smoother taste of banana and whipped cream to the tart bite of the blue concoction.
I have finished the glass and feel pleasantly buzzed. Not the weird, out of body buzz you get from drinking straight hard stuff or the drowsy, light-headed buzz of wine but the comfortable, relaxed, slightly warmed buzz you get with a really well mixed drink.
I don't feel the need to drink any more of it tonight so I can tell this bottle is going to last a while. Definitely worth the 25 bucks.
