I imagine some have seen this on the news or on the web, but just incase.

The cruise ship industry is just going to hate this.

What flavors are there? We plan on releasing six versions sold in a pouch that is the equivalent to one shot of alcohol:

•V which is powder made from premium vodka distilled four times.

•R which is powder made from premium Puerto Rican rum


V and R can be used two ways. One way is by adding five ounces of your favorite mixer to make a Rum and Coke, Vodka and Orange Juice, etc. Another option is adding five ounces of water to the powder and then adding a flavored drink powder to make it any flavor you want. The result is equivalent to one average mixed drink.

The four cocktail versions are:

•Cosmopolitan

•Mojito

•Powderita - tastes just like a Margarita

•Lemon Drop

Just add water to these four flavors for an instant cocktail.

I'd rather carry a hip flask and take my single malt, good rye whiskey or quality gin. I don't in fact, but I do have one just in case. Life is too short to drink bad wine or spirit.

Hey robrinay, I agree completely about bringing along your favourite beverage in a flask. When I read this I thought about all the places that security verifies you are not carrying any liquour. Boarding a cruise ship, entering many sports matches like a professional football game, crossing the border from the US into Canada.

Hmmm see what you mean, however don't try to board a plane with the stuff or you may be accused of terrorism as its a flammable mix - a potential explosive.

I heard about this.
If it comes to a store near me, I'll give it a try.

I found a couple of explanatory web pages ref: powdered alcohol - first Scientific American

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-is-the-big-deal-about-powdered-alcohol/

And secondly a Gizmodo page with links including possible associated risk management and how you might make your own.

After that they will market an extra dry martini, using this stuff. Just sprinkle it on an olive and you are all set.

I have a flask cane for just such occasions.

You are perfectly fine with a flask cane. They might even help you along when they see you coming with it. Be sure to limp a bit.
