Absolut Boston

Well, looky here! Since the Boston Tea Party is a thing of the past, Boston is now being toasted with vodka instead.

The good folks at ABSOLUT have attempted to capture Beantown in a bottle by creating a black tea-infused concoction which has elderflower infused vodka.

The unveiling of the "Wall of Pride" and toast will take place tomorrow at 11 AM at Boylston Plaza, which features quotations from famed Bostonians. After Los Angeles and New Orleans, Boston is the third US city to get its own themed alcohol.



I wonder if the "unveiling" was purposefully schedule for late August when many of the college students are moving in? My bet is "Yes", and what better way to build a buzz than having a bunch of college-aged adults roaming around Boston slamming down shots of ABSOLUT Boston Vodka?

God Bless the great folks in higher education and residence life that have to deal with these students, and, no, I don't miss the field.
