F&DB PSA: Taaka King Cake

Yes, I know I lost 90% of the people who would ordinarily view this thread as soon as I typed out Taaka. Look I get it. Totally understandable.

Truth be told, a few Mardi Gras back, we started seeing King Cake flavored liquor being sold here and there, and the wife and I started sampling.

Pinnacle? Blech...Found one that Parkway Tavern and Bakery were touting, but I can't remember the name of it. Wasn't the answer, either.

Then, about two years ago my friend handed me a highball glass at our Mardi Gras Ball and just told me, "Drink it." I did, and I was amazed...

I did not believe him when he told me what it was. Mostly because he said that was the last of two bottles they'd bought. I ride in the parade so they wanted me to believe they had polished off two bottles of vodka-TAAKA vodka at that?-in a little over two hours or so? Yeah right!

A week after Mardi Gras, we're at Win-Dixie and I run across a huge setup of bottles on fire-sale for $6.97...I figured I could test the BS for myself and then make him tell me what they gave me at the Ball. Bought a bottle, brought it home, and that night, took a nip...and immediately went back and spent about $15 and bought two more bottles.

Trust me, if you aren't a snob, and you have an open mind...try it. It's ridiculously good...and hey. If it's not? You're out what...$8 with tax included? WTF cares? You're a baller. You can handle it. You also know who to blame.

Fire away.
