DRINK RECIPES FOR EPISODE #53: The Mystique and The Lady Thor

Have you tuned in to this week's episode of The Vodka Press yet? No? Check it out, and then indulge in one - or both, because hey we don't judge - of this week's cocktail recommendations.

The Mystique

• 2 parts Vodka
• 1 part Sparkling cherry juice (try this one from R.W. Knudsen Family®*)
• 0.5 part Blueberry juice (guess who also makes a tasty blueberry juice - R.W. Knudsen Family®*)
• 1 part Blue curaçao
• Garnish w/ lemon peel

The Lady Thor

• 1 part Champagne
• Generous drizzle of honey simple syrup
• 1 part Cranberry-raspberry juice
• 2 parts Strawberry-flavored vodka
• Rim glass w/ coarse sugar

*Note: I'm not being paid to promote their products, honestly. I just really like these juices. 

DRINK RECIPES FOR EPISODE #51: La La Lola and St. Rita

This week on The Vodka Press, we got our geek on (again). So when cocktail time rolled around, I wanted to recommend cocktails perfect for when you're geeking out with friends.

La La Lola (according to saveur.com)

• 1 pint Pitted cherries
• 2 oz Rye whiskey
• 3 cups Cola
• 1 tsp Fresh lemon juice

St. Rita (according to liquor.com)

• 1.5 oz Tequila
• 1.5 oz St-Germain
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt*

*Note: They say to just rim the glass with salt. However, when I recreated this cocktail at home, I found it still a little too sweet so I mixed the salt into it - and then it was perfect (for my taste buds). So play around with this drink until it tastes good to you.

Episode #09 Top Five: Five Reasons Geeks are Better in Bed

The Geekery episode was a pretty fun episode for me. I got to learn a lot about a culture that I know a limited amount about. As I was doing research, I repeatedly came across the same point over and over: Geeks are better in bed, and judging from the reasoning I don't see how this can't be true. Here's why:

#5. They aren't judgmental: They aren't going to tell you that particular lingerie makes your thighs look fat or that you're doing it wrong. Nope this is a judgment free zone. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself with whatever your into - whether it be dressing up as princess Leia, or reenacting that sexy video game scene.

#4. They're into stimuli: They've had a lot of practice with stimuli so giving them something to stimulate shouldn't be that much of a jump, right?

#3. They concentrate: There's no doubt about it. Geeks can concentrate and concentrate HARD. And sometimes, that's half the battle when you're looking to get off.

#2. They're into role play: You'll meet lots of potential partners who have mixed feelings about doing a little role playing. Not geeks. They're free, they're fun, and they can come up with endless scenarios to keep it spicy in the bedroom. (Although some might need a little research to keep up with).
