Well haven’t been here in a while but I’m back and yet another year older. It’s really hard writing one of these after i haven’t written one in so long. There’s a lot i could write about, the new hamster, my chat with Miles from peep show, or even review some really nice wood chisels i brought. But i think what I’ll write about to day is a fond fair well to a new favorite drink. But first, as some of you may know it was my birthday! 20 years old, but sadly no beard yet. So with my free time i’ve visualized just what that might look like for you all (sad I know). The results are mixed and also looks slightly like snot as i used the trusty green post-it notes.

So onwards to this marvelous drink. Fentimans curiosity cola “A stimulating recipe of herbal ingredients, recreating an apothecary’s cola of yesteryear that is both full-bodied and curiously invigorating.” It’s mighty yummy and at only 0.5% alcohol it’s good for all the family. But flipping it over to have a gander at the back i noticed that it contains a catuaba extract. Which surprised me as i did not know catuaba had been cleared to sell as anything other than a “dietary supplement”. I thought it was a bit strange as i knew what it was, normally sold along side things like Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) pills in “health food” shops and is also rumored to be a sexual enhancer (now your wondering how i know this aren’t you!). but other than that the ingredients where pretty standard. So i don’t know just what makes this cola so nice, may be its the ginger or the fermentation processes but i would defiantly recommend it to a friend and all of you lot! So why did i say a fond fair well you may be thinking, well its not the price (£2.10 for 275ml), or that it’s so damn hard to fine, it’s that I’m currently weighing and incredible 15.13st. I know I’m quite the heffa. so I’ll have to leave the fizzy drink’s, lovely sandwiches and biscuits, well alone for a while, before the girl friend says the dreaded ”It’s not that your fat i just want you to be healthy”         

So that’s it for this week on “Drinks with Vanity James” remember to check back soon as i’ll be getting back in to making regular posts.
