The Grey Goose Chase

Last year I received a Vodka Set for Christmas. I suspect it was a re-gift. I considered passing it along, but couldn't decide who to give it to, or more importantly...why.

You see, the concept and purpose of the Vodka Set completely escaped me. 

I imagined myself stuffing a slender wedge of lime into one of those teeny weeny little glasses, perhaps even some crushed ice. Conceivably - I may have also managed to dribble a few drops of vodka in as well.

But then what? Hellooo! No room for tonic water. My thirst for knowledge, remained unquenched.

Then one day, I received an e-mail extolling the amazing properties of vodka. Apparently, vodka is akin to the 8th Wonder of the World, the consummate all-purpose home product. Who knew? (Well, you know, I suspect that Martha may have…)

I felt a glimmer of hope, I could create a theme basket incorporating the Vodka Set.  According to the list of uses for vodka, the possibilities appeared endless. 

Who wouldn't appreciate a gift such as that? Or these:

All sorts of scenerios run through my mind when I think about this one.

Great gift ideas, eh. Only one problem, still no way to incorporate, or even quantify the existence of the six teeny weeny little glasses. *sigh* Back to square one.

In a fractious moment of self-defeat, I broke down and googled. “What is the purpose of a Vodka Set?”

Apparently, the idea is to chill vodka in the decanter and then serve it up in the teeny weeny little glasses.

“Hey y’all, put down those beers and come grab yourselves one of these teeny weeny little glasses of straight up vodka. Ah come on. I made it up special in The Vodka Set. It’s chilled!” I don't think that goose is going to fly.

I tried incorporating the Vodka Set  into my holiday decorating... 

Ew. No, that's not it.

Anyone have a match?

Ah, there we go!

I can't wait to see what adventures lurk await beneath my tree this year.

Happy Holidays one and all!
