Damn nobody tells me they have a crush on me? πŸ₯²πŸ˜‚

Snake wine πŸ€” tell me more

Nobody tells me that they have a crush on me, either!

Well, it's what it sounds like, sadly. Wine with snakes and scorpions and such in it. I stole this pic from Wikipedia but mine looks just like this more or less.

It's a Chinese thing really, and I suspect that it's largely a tourist thing in Vietnam because the place I tried it at was super touristy, and I've never seen it offered in other places, but who knows? I think it's basically just wine or grain alcohol with whatever you want to throw in it. In the place I tried it...it was this little island in the Mekong Delta, and half of the building was about making coconut candy, and then there were these other things like snake wine...a giant vat of it, not what you'd call attractive. It actually tasted ok but mainly because it clearly had a LOT of alcohol in it.

So is eating the scorpion like eating the worm in Tequila?
 
It’s a natural paint thinner made from pine sap. Very common here.
Ahh got it. Haha

Stop stealing my comments man!
 
You have to try Bombay Sapphire! Best gin I’ve ever had.
I really like Bombay Sapphire and the distillery is beautiful 🀩 I have a gift voucher to use to do the tour and Gin at the end.
Always my favorite, although I love the really botanical gins too.
I thought all Gin’s were botanical because of the juniper 😱
