Default best for flavor infusions.......



It used to be vodka was best spirit for flavor infusion cocktails but
something smoother has made its début. Could this be the end of vodka?



It may not be the end of vodka but it definitely gives the vodka makers a
run for their money. S Guaro is new to the USA market even though it has
been produced in Costa Rica for over 150 years. The stuff is distilled in
Costa Rica from sugar cane in instead of potatoes or grain and they use a
similar process the vodka makers do......it's just not vodka. The best
thing about S Guaro is that it is so pure. There are no additives or
impurities like other spirits. Of course being a distilled spirit there are
no carbs or sugars either! Someone was bragging to me how Guaro won't give
you a hangover and after extensive testing by yours truly I have found this
to be amazingly true. I have been a long time Skyy drinker because of its
purity pitch. I just hated the harsh taste and burn of Skyy. Guaro is so
smooth you can barely tell it is in a mixed drink. Infusing some S Guaro
with citrus and cucumbers makes for an amazing spring cocktail.

Try soaking a vanilla bean or some dried cranberries in a bottle you will be
blown away at how the flavors POP!

This is the end of vodka for me.I have a new favorite and its called S!

Their web site: www.sguaro.com



Cheers all!

If you really want to promote a product you like, I suggest coming up with a
post that does not sound like an ad sponsored by the manufacturer.

You mean vodka is being replaced by SPAM?????

Do you think people can't read this properly and see that it is ad copy, not
a normal post on this group? We are not dumb and instead of making new
customers, you are ****ing people off.

Edwin,
Spam is used to make Musubi, please see the following link for how to make
it. http://www.hawaii.edu/recipes/misc/spam.html
Thanks for the errrr..... compliment [sic] on the copy writing skills. I
am a successful NKBA kitchen designer who loves new things and S Guaro is
one of them. I am unashamed to share it with the world. so if you are
offended or "****ed off" oh well your loss.

Okay so you may not be an "official" representative of the company, but does
this sound familiar? "The S Troop is growing and has caught the eye of the
S Guaro people. I thought I might get sued or something but they seem to
love the cult like following that is starting. After studying Buzz Marketing
as part of my continuing education and relentless pursuit to be forever a
student, I have decided to play this out and see where it goes. I have taken
on this a project for the pure love of starting something and hope to take
it past the logo passing stage..." It should. It is from your website. A
quick Google shows that you have been posting the same "end of vodka" stuff
on many Usenet groups. You are a spammer, plain and simple. Deny it if you
want, but that doesn't change the fact.

Combine that with the fact that the *only* posts from this person in
usenet *history* are spam posts (a whopping 18 posts since 1981) about
this stuff (which is probably crap anyhow)

That's exactly what I figured - the Buzz marketing thing. You see this more
and more on various newsgroups, and it is usually as transparent as this
one. And when confronted, the guilty parties always play innocent. It's
really pitiful that these people will deceive others and waste their time
trying to promote a commercial product. Can you spell L-O-S-E-R?

Yes sir that is my website. (Crude enough but I don't have much time to work
on it.)

Firstly apologies to anyone offended by my post. I have been reading this
and about 5 other newsgroups since I discovered them. As Steve pointed out
I have made a whopping 18 posts to these newsgroups in the last 9 months.
He failed to note I have posted on subjects other than S Guaro but whatever.
I don't want to misrepresent anything. I am a kitchen designer and my
partner is a chef/caterer and we both love finding new and amazing things
and telling our friends about them. This was obviously the wrong way to do
it and apparently the wrong group to do it in. Live and learn.
So no more posts from me OK. I'll just go back to reading. Can I get a big
collective *sigh* of relief?
I'm sorry you had to waste your time reading my post.

Well, when 13 of 18 posts are hawking the same product it's gonna make
people focus on spamming like it or not. No one's saying to hush up
it's just not accepted usenet practice to post the same post on multiple
groups promoting a product. If that wasn't your intent it's certainly
how it gets perceived on this side of the connection. ;-)

See, normally a product/drink wouldn't be posted on a group called
rec.food.EQUIPMENT

Well this is where promoting for sales (spam) and sharing information about
something cool finds its "grey area".

I'm not selling it, I don't get paid by them to promote it and....... It's
not "Lolita just turned 18 and wants to show you her...."

I do think people should try to find it and use it.

The 5 groups that I posted in are all groups I read for information.
Information all related to cooking, food and drink. I assumed an educated
buch of people that like to banter on COOKING equipment might like to know
about this stuff. Ooopppps.....I did it the wrong way. BTW, I won't go into
any detail here but IT is that good.



Again I apologize for going about it all wrong.

I am not sorry that you now know about it and maybe, just maybe someone else
will share their experience with it and the SPAM can turn into a real
thread. (Just not in an equipment group)

A few years ago I brought back farm sinks from Israel to my Los Angeles
kitchen design studio much to the chagrin of the design community and now
they are all the rage. I love finding things that are worthy of
"promotion". I just need to learn who with and how to share it. Like I
said live and learn.



Thanks,

Jay

I may be a bit cynical, but I've been 99.9% accurate in differentiating
between honest excitement for a product and "advertising" under the guise of
a newsgroup posting. We are a group of real people that use these groups
and we write in normal conversational tones. Me make typing errors,
grammatical errors, sometimes us big words and long sentences, but none of
us sound like advertising copy when we write. Your post just reeked of
Madison Avenue. Just my opinion.

....and, it was posted by someone unknown (at me, at least) to these groups,
and it was cross posted. It's not like there is a burning interest in
finding a replacement for vodka in making extracts. Also, it seems that the
product in question is just cheap rum - hardly anything to write home about.

Not gray at all.

BLACK
If you are paid by the company being promoted in any way, if you are
commercially advertising in any way, it is wrong.

WHITE
To discuss products we use and like is perfectly acceptable and one reason
we read these newsgroups.

I wasn't going to respond anymore after I made my apology but this is too
damn funny!

so it is WHITE...I don't get anything but satisfaction of turning on people
(not here of course) to a great product. It is not cheap @ around $30 a
bottle and its too bad someone has to be "known" before they can post even
if it is off topic, and I am doing my best to write a run on sentence and
not use speel check so it fits under the guide lines of a real post and
someone sent me an email that said my writing was a hack job and could never
be considered real ad copy but this other guy posted here said it reeked of
Madison Ave, (so confused) now I have never been on Madison ave but Times
Square sure does reek of **** and...oopsss shouldn't use a curse
word.....god you are so much fun.....I read the indoor outdoor grill thread
and have to wonder......nevermind.......oh well bye thanks for all the fun.
