Buying the New Yorker 1986 - page 11

This ad looks like it came out of the 1940s. Sort of a comfy granny retro. The website looks more like an upscale swingles party in the middle of an X-Men flick.

I've been doing this long enough to notice two trends, which I will now share with you.

1) Alcoholic beverage producing companies love the hell out of flash animation.

2) When you go to a website for an alcoholic beverage producing company, it will ask for your age. As they rarely actually sell their alcoholic products (but frequently things like shirts and compilation CDs), this makes very little sense.

I have no idea what this stuff tastes like, but if you go to the "History" page in the flash extravaganza, you will see that it is a complicated brew of raspberries and honey soaked in cognac (amongst other things), filtered, fortified, steeped with more honey and herbs, extracted, distilled and aged. If that's any help to you.

I see from the recipe section that it can help you whomp up a tasty goat cheese salad. The style section shows you how to make a margarita that is a color that no margarita should ever be. You can also purchase little bottles that, once you've used the contents to make a martini or molten lava cake, will look quite spiffy on your Christmas tree (the proceeds go to fight ALS, so you can lift your head high when Curt Schilling drops by your annual Christmas Eve Puce Margarita Party).
