Once upon a time, way back in the 1990s, vodka was pretty much the coolest thing you could order. It was the It drink at clubs and bars, and its magical (dearth of) flavor swept the nation. But, in the last decade, the craft movement has exploded. "Small batch," "hand-made," and "craft" are the new buzzwords for everything from beer to whiskey and gin to cocktails.

What good is a party when there are no drinks to go along with the fantastic music as well as the party crowd? I suppose having just any drink is not going to make the cut, which is why you would need to have the likes of the £29.99 Firestarter Vodka in order to light up your party. This is one premium booze cannister that will arrive in a multi-award winning fire extinguisher packaging that is guaranteed to be a talking point. Not only that, it is also bartender friendly, as it comes with an easy-pour spout.
In addition, you know for sure that this is no ordinary vodka, as it has been five times platinum filtered using winter wheat from Moldova, and best of all is, there is no need for any yearly inspection to get going. With the Firestarter Vodka in tow, you can be sure that just about any type of social gathering will more than welcome it with open arms. Just make sure that all the little ones out there have been evacuated to a safe place and if you have more than a single Firestarter for obvious reasons. All you need to do is to twist the cap so that you can discharge the cylinder, point the nozzle at the base of the glass or punch bowl, and you’re good to go.

You know how forensic artists are. They can’t pass up an opportunity to take a skull and see what it looked like when it was alive. They might even be curious to see what the skull-shaped bottle of Crystal Head Vodka looked like, had it been living. Forensic artist Nigel Cockerton was just this curious.
So he got a bottle of Crystal Head Vodka and went to work, wondering just what that laughing face would look like covered with muscle, eyes, and skin.
The results are kind of what you would expect. It looks like a drunk guy laughing his ass off.
So now you have a face to think about when you are drinking straight from this bottle. As you drink, you are going to look more and more like this guy too.

Generally speaking, it’s what’s inside a bottle that counts. It could come out of a yak udder just as long as it still tastes like a fine, single-malt Scotch. Still, there’s nothing wrong with a little creative packaging. And booze bottles come in some of the most creative, decadent, and just plain bizarre designs you can imagine.

Hopefully, you always take the appropriate precautions and never drink and drive. That being said, if you are worried about being sober after having a drink or two, then check out this G-Shock watch, which will let you know if you are under the influence of alcohol. While it looks pretty convincing, it was actually a hoax. Nevertheless, there are some watches like this available now.
CIROC, a maker of premium vodka, teamed up with Puff Daddy to come up with this latest hustle in entrepreneurship. This G-Shock watch features a striking transparent build, with a built-in breathalyzer, showing your blood alcohol content. It was supposed to come in three different colors, representing CIROC’s signature color gradient found on its vodka bottles.
Unfortunately, it was revealed by the G-Shock team that this watch was a fake.
Perhaps the popularity of the Tokyoflash Intoxicated will inspire Casio to actually produce this watch someday.

Sometimes you just don’t have the right resources to make a decent drink. But if you get enough sober, thirsty minds focused on the problem, humans can find some pretty creative ways to come up with alcohol. More »
I might be a little behind the times, but I just finished the campaign mode of Halo 4 over the holidays. For those of you who haven’t played the game yet, (minor spoiler ahead) Cortana has a little case of something called “rampancy” in which too much information loaded into her program causes her to destabilize and lose her mind. Now you can have a little of the same, when you down this special Cortana-themed cocktail.
This delightfully blue drink is made up from Blue Curacao, Alize Bleu Passion, UV Blue Vodka, Blueberry Lemonade Mio, and a bit of Sprite or 7UP. Here’s the full recipe:
Ingredients:
1.5 parts Blue Curacao
2 parts Alizé Bleu Passion
2 parts UV Blue Vodka
1 squeeze Blueberry Lemonade Mio
Lemon Lime soda
Directions: Pour the Blue Curacao over ice into a hurricane or equally sexy tall glass. Float Alizé atop Curacao. Float vodka atop Alizé. Gently pour your lemon lime soda nearing the top. Squeeze a shot of blue concentrated flavoring (Mio). She’s waited a long time for this, John. Savor the moment as if it’s your last.
Between the vodka and the two other alcoholic ingredients, you definitely won’t be feeling any pain after a few of these. Though it might just affect your ability to effectively take down Covenant and Promethean warriors.
The Cortana Cocktail was made by Clint Slowik, and is featured up on The Drunken Moogle, where you can also find Clint’s other Halo concoction, the awesomely-colored Master Chief.
Yippee! Let’s poison ourselves with beverages that will make us violently ill! It was your battle cry last night, and today you’re paying the price. But what is that hangover you’re experiencing, exactly? More »
Eighty-nine years ago, Congress passed the 21st amendment and repealed Prohibition. The country breathed a collective, blind drunk sigh of relief. You can commemorate the presence of no sauce in the states by making some gin of your own, and you don’t even need a whole fancy distilling system. More »
