Bartender Apps: A Review

It’s the season for entertaining and parties and many people like to keep the serving of libations as easy as possible, limited to beer, wine or liquor with a few easy mixers.

But, there are many who like to find an interesting new concoction or serve a classic and fun cocktail that takes some effort. Mixing drinks has become the liquid side of the foodie culture.

One approach is to do what the professionals do and browse recipes from the Gary Regan books, or go to Bartender.com and download some.

Then I came across an article in Gizmodo about The Best Drinking Apps and off I went looking for iPhone and Android apps. What I learned right off the bat was that in the iTunes store alone there are hundreds. So, the next stop was to scour the Internet and see what was being reviewed and recommended.

Bar in a Bra

The Wine Rack Bra contains a flask hidden inside with a tube that lets you drink the liquid. It looks like a normal sports bra but can hold up to an entire bottle of wine or spirits.

The manufacturer claims that the bra has a number of uses. Not only does it allow the wearer to covertly drink the contents, but also, in venues where alcohol is sold, you can bring your own less expensive booze and save money. (In this case I assume that BYOB means bring your own bra.)

The clincher – at least according to ads I’ve seen online – is that it also serves as a breast enhancement product allowing the wearer to “turn an A cup into double Ds.” But wait; as you drink from a fluid filled bra, doesn’t the breast size get smaller? I guess if you drink enough you and others won’t notice.

Here’s the device.

You think that’s cheesy?

There’s a comparable product for men called the Freedom Flask.  It’s designed to be worn underneath the pants, sitting right in front of the crotch.

If that’s not disgusting enough, the spigot is located so that you have easy access when you unzip your pants.

I can’t bring my self to post the video of this ridiculous device. But if you must see it, you can find it here.

So there you have it, American ingenuity in action.

I can’t imagine wanting a drink or saving money so badly that anyone would use these items.

Booze, Turkey and Football

Campari America, owners of Wild Turkey Bourbon, has come up with an interesting and fun promotion for Thanksgiving.

It’s a PR event that only that brand can own.

It seems that they have a turkey they claim is the “world’s first football picking turkey” that can predict the outcome of football games, starting of course, with the three this Thanksgiving. (Anyone following my football picking efforts this season knows that I’m the holder of that title.)
