He had lemongrass-infused vodka in Seattle a few years ago. It
seemed to be pretty common, from what he said.

I hope I remember to report. We don't drink on weeknights.
Weekends we're busy working on the house. I'm afraid to have
a drink for fear it would make me too lazy to fix supper, or
that it would lead to insomnia as it sometimes does. I'm such
a lightweight these days.
