I wouldn’t be lush if I didn’t let you in on what was taking me over the top. Right?

Normally, I’m a tequila drinker all the way (1800 if I’m ballin’, but Cuervo will me right, too). I resigned from 151 when I started working full-time, lol.  I was feeling like a lady, you know, didn’t want anyone to see me take it too the head, yet. So, I ordered a Sunrise, which turned out to taste indescribably cheap (bartender must have gone bottom shelf on me).

As I pretended to nurse my overpriced drink, I scanned each shelf trying to figure out what could get me where I wanted to be my budget. I spotted Diddy’s Ciroc vodka. Usually, I stay away from vodka, because I think it tastes like rubbing alcohol. However, he does so much ranting about how smoooth it is, I figured I’d try a lil’ bit (I know, mixing darks and lights is a no-no)…

Anyway, Ciroc is the bomb (yes, I still say that)! Not never have I tasted ANY liquor that went down that smooth. There was no burn (my chest hairs did not need a perm, yall)! After, 6 or 7 shots, I was still going strong, even if my pockets weren’t…
