I speak from experience.
The last time I drank these wicked combos was July 3rd, 2005.
Decided to quit drinking for good the very next day.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
That was my reaction as well.Quote

Vodka mixed with a soft drink?
Hardly the most potent cocktail. When people speak of mixing drinks they usually mean combining more than one alcoholic beverage.

I seem to remember a story (from the '90's?) of Keith ordering a drink called "A Toolbox" which he said was "A screwdriver (vodka & orange juice) with extra vodka".

That scene? Keith ordered a toolkit - screwdriver - "and put the hammer in" on the plane to Toronto in 2003 (Four Flicks).

Hello,
Sorry for slightly throwing this thread but this interview has always tickled me, and it does contain a couple of first-hand observations about Keith and his thirst...
"It was early 1989, and Keith Richards was on his final day at home before flying off to the Caribbean to record with the Rolling Stones for the first time in four years. But first, he had a TV interview to get through. The tape had just started to roll and the interviewer – that would be yours truly – was all set to ask the initial question when Keith sat forward in his armchair, and asked the crew to delay for a moment.
“Jane, darling,” he enquired of his personal manager Jane Rose, who instantly materialized from the open-plan kitchen.
“Yes, Keith?”
“I asked you for a drink.” He held up a tall glass that contained a couple of ice cubes and a small serving of a brown liquid. “This… is a @#$%&’ puddle.”
The clock had barely struck noon in the middle of the working week, but this was Keith Richards’ world, where he called the shots; even his manager, in essence, was just visiting. Jane Rose picked up the glass, sheepishly headed back to the kitchen, and returned with it suitably filled to the brim with Jack and coke. The inimitable Keith Richards, who had recently confounded many of the world’s leading medical experts by making it to his 45th birthday – which he celebrated, in concert, leading his own band through a lengthy series of shows – took a large sip, grinned, and then gave me the nod. “Let’s go.”
The rest of the encounter can be read here: [www.ijamming.net] and seen here: [www.youtube.com]
Cheers,
Simon.

In my world:
Vodka + Cranberry Juice = Yummy
Vodka + Orange Juice = Yummy
Vodka + Carbonated Beverage = Waste of Vodka
I seem to remember a story (from the '90's?) of Keith ordering a drink called "A Toolbox" which he said was "A screwdriver (vodka & orange juice) with extra vodka". THAT I can get on board with but, when he switched from OJ to Sunkist he lost my interest.
Peace,
Mr DJA

Yes to the first two...you and I need to drink together, DJA. I don't mind a little carbonation in the form of soda or tonic water, but sunkist? Blech!
How did I miss this thread before?
