Cheers to You, Smirnoff Ice Man

Oftentimes this blog takes on mocking many things about the bartending experience, but "Cheers to You" does the opposite.  I toast those who make me think, and that is just plain awesome.

A man's drink says a lot about the man himself.  Cheap beer bought by someone young usually means a college student, martinis usually mean refinement, long islands usually that someone wants some punch in their drinks.  But there is one man that is seldom seen and confuses me enough that I think he is awesome.  The Smirnoff Ice Drinking Man.


Not only are you hard to find, but when you surface, you order that drink with such certainty that I don't even question it.

You don't Bro-Ice your bros because you just don't waste good alcohol like that.  Feeling the burn of "good" scotch or the harshness of beer just isn't what you're into, and you don't think that makes you a sissy.  And come to think of it, other men drink pink mixed drinks or use fruit to make beer taste better; so you're response is, "Who's the real sissy now?"

 So, cheers to you, sir!  You drink Smirnoff Ice because you  like the taste and just don't give a damn about what other people say.
