Makes sense, I guess-- but I'm sure homemade flavored vodkas would be better. Yup, they were created in response to flavored vodkas.

I was under the impression they existed well before flavored vodkas were marketed. So my homemade vodkas are nearly the same as yours, minus the garnish and the flavored vodka. The ability to make a fresh-tasting cosmo is one of my bar tests--as in, if a place doesn't make a good one, then I'm not going back. .-= The Gourmez´s last blog ..<a href="http://blog.thegourmez.com/?p=1279&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=napa-river-merlot-2007" rel="nofollow">Napa River Merlot 2007</a> =-.

I had one at Lavomatic and it was fabulous. I have a bottle of Blantons and some bourbon vanilla sugar from Kentucky Haus...I'd like to give it a whirl this weekend.

It must be tricked out! There is a place in Dayton called SideBar (which just moved to a new location in the Oregon District) where they specialize in craft cocktails. I just had wine when we tried it; next time I plan to try one of their specialties. I agree- it's all about the ingredients! .-= Debbie´s last blog ..<a href="http://vintagescoutinteriors.blogspot.com/2010/05/plantation-shutters.html" rel="nofollow">Plantation Shutters</a> =-.

One of the best is from Clough Crossing. Now if you are looking for something sweet, this is not it. I agree about the bad cosmo’s that I have had in Cincinnati.
