Battle of the Girly Drinks: Wave 2


The first round was fantastically close there for awhile. But in the end popular vote went to the Mimosa Breeze! *whispering in my ear* How's that? You say that write in votes aren't allowed? Well, I'm sorry Mimosa Breeze lovers, but your write in campaign has been for nothing. I was really pulling for your grassroots movement. 

This means that the winner of the first round was tallying tallying tallying, Sea Breeze! Mimosa put in some good hits with it's ability to be drunk in the morning free of guilt, not to mention its lack of grapefruit, but cranberry really won Sea Breeze the minority vote. So then, with some camps celebrating with fizzy fruity drinks and others drowning their sorrows in... fizzy fruity drinks, let us take a look at the next combatants.



Amaretto Sour

VS

Appletini


Amaretto Sour

Where it was 10 years ago: Sitting in a Texas Bar and Grill and wondering how things could go so wrong.
Where it sees itself in 10 years: Sitting in a Texas Bar and Grill and wondering how things managed to turn out so great.
Why it thinks you shouldn't vote for the Appletini: That stuff's made in New York City. NEW YORK CITY!?



Appletini


Where it was 10 years ago: Just starting to get used to life in the states after growing up in Australia.
Where it sees itself in 10 years: Working with taipans back home down under.
Why it thinks you shouldn't vote for Amaretto Sour: Ego.


A wise man once said "choose, but choose wisely" but then he was made up for a movie. Still another man once said, "voting ends Monday night at 11:59 pm." That guy was me, but then, I may have been made up for a movie too. Only tim(e) will tell. No, I'm just as lost as you. Too many imaginary drinks...

On Tuesday we'll see what we'll see when we see it.

  2. I'm sticking with my margarita on this one.

  3. Appletini - because it is young, hip and what all the single ladies are drinking. And you know that Big Daddy is all about the single ladies.

  4. I love maragarita even though its a ladies drink.

  5. I am just wondering how they call those beverages as "ladydrinks"

  6. So no Blosssom here, are you in on this too.

    As for the drinks, I can say I have not tried either but I am leaning toward the appletini.

  7. got to go with the Smirnoff again.... ummm appletini

    ReplyDelete
  8. I don't recognize either of those as suitable drinks for human consumption - they are in essence melted jello shots.

    The vodka works. I vote vodka.

  9. Pelican, I'm not sure what you're asking exactly.

    Awal, I have no idea what Blossom and Rep are doing. I'm waiting for the punchline myself.

    Cottage, When was the last time you had almond Jello? I've never actually had an appletini myself, though I can tell you that Amaretto Sours are like liquid candy.

  10. i'll probably have to vote appletini even though i think both drinks are vile (and i'm a girl).
    i vote for the cosmopolitan. thanks to sex & the city, it is the epitome of the girly drink.

  11. I truly hate both of these drinks. I'm picking Appletini for no other reason than it contains vodka. After several of them, I'll forget that I hate sour things and lose the urge to yak....

    ReplyDelete
  12. I stand by my word in the last vote; vodka = awesome, Appletini for the win!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Oh tim(e) do tell....what were you thinking? Upon reading your first line I went into 'crazy victory dance lady' mode. The let down I feel is profound.

    Well, my loyalties lie in Texas Bars so, Amaretto by morning for me. (I will be addressing those crazy accusations that Rep made about me later on, I'm sorry for the obvious angst this has caused you. I do understand that Appletinis go well with Mexican food and help to dull the pain...maybe worth a try.)

  14. Amaretto Sour it is. I love me some sour drinks occasionally.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Not sure how to vote in this round, because I've never had either. I know, boring...I usually stick to the tried and true. Can I vote for a Mimosa Breeze this time?

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm confused, generally. But what's the margarita got to do with this? These comments and posts seem intoxicated to me. I'll just have an appletini - cuz I really do like them- and I'll vote for it too. Good pick, Cal.
    Cheers,
    Robyn

  17. Okay, let's see ...
    that's 1 vote for tweety
    2 for jello shots
    1 for cosmopolitan
    2 for Big Daddy
    1 for Marlene
    and a Mimosa Breeze thrown in as well.

    I don't often admit that I'm confused, so I won't bother doing that now, but I am doing my best to resist voting for "Appletini Sour". Then there's the added issue of never having enjoyed even a thimble full of either drink, so I'll have to look at it like the battle that it is.

    Amaretto is Italian, and they're better painters than fighters, so the battle is starting off poor. But then Amaretto gets all Sour, and can throw lemon juice in Appletini's eye, which stings like a Mimosa. However, Appletini is Australian, so it can ... uh ... ride horseback. Yeah, so bring in the cavalry!

    Okay, I realize I haven't voted yet, but these jello shots are really making me want to tweet about Marlene, so I think I'd be better off coming back later.

  18. Rep, You reasoned everything out just to leave me hanging. How anti-climatic.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'm a midori sour man myself.... It's delicious and pretty!

    So my vote is for the amaretto sour....

    ReplyDelete
  20. I've got to agree with Cal and Robyn and say Appletini. Anything that gets the ladies puckering can't be a bad thing!

    Stop by, I have something for you!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Anything with a Tini has got to be the girliest thing around...just saying.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Alright, now that I'm done with the jello shots, and can think a little clearer, I'm going to go with Dr. John Dorian. (I'm assuming TS will get this reference, and know where to place my vote.)

    ReplyDelete
  23. i had an appletini last night.
    intense stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Appletini. It's more fun to say.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Maybe, but we always order it "easy on the tini." Does that help?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Amaretto!

    Because of the pace picante (or whichever one it was) reference with "NEW YORK CITY!?"

    ReplyDelete
  27. I have to toss my vote for sour.

    ReplyDelete
  28. TS - please don't make me choose something like this!!!!

  29. Can a computer virus infect my computer simply by being
    online? No downloading or uploading. No file sharing.
    No instant messaging/chatting. No opening of new browsers
    or opening email or email contents and such.
    Just leaving my computer on with my homepage screen and linked to internet.

  30. Spot on with this write-up, I truly believe that this website needs a lot more attention.
    I'll probably be back again to see more, thanks for the advice!

  31. I write a leave a response when I especially enjoy a post on
    a blog or if I have something to contribute to the discussion.
    Usually it's a result of the passion displayed in the article I looked at. And on this post "Battle of the Girly Drinks: Wave 2". I was excited enough to drop a thought :-P I do have a couple of questions for you if you usually do not mind. Could it be simply me or do some of these responses appear like written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I'd like to keep up with you.
    Would you make a list the complete urls of your community sites like your Facebook page,
    twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
