CharlotteAfter one of many social benefits, Charlotte and her present boytoy are at a bar when a woman approaches Charlotte and asks her for a light. Charlotte is drinking her ZYR Vodka on the rocks. It is an exceptionally smooth vodka. The vodka has received a rating of 96 out of 100 from “Wine Enthusiast Magazine.” Also, this vodka company was started in 2001 by a UR alumnus named David Katz, which makes this particular drink a must.

SamanthaSam goes on a date to a sushi restaurant. “I took the liberty of ordering you a dirty martini,” Richard Wright says. Isn’t it funny how after eating sushi, a dirty martini will land in Richard’s face? This drink is perfect for those who like their drink strong and salty.
