Give It A Shot – Three Olives Vodka Bubble

Since vodka is one of our lesser enjoyed beverages, (when I say lesser enjoyed I’m not actually sure how much lower you can go) we decided to try it in a different form. A regular listener to the podcast was kind enough to give us a sample of a flavored vodka. It’s from…
