You love to go out. We love to go out. You love to eat. We love to eat. You love to drink. Well, you get the idea. So when you're itching for the lastest Chicago nightlife has to offer, check out The Extrovert for up-to-the minute details on the scene.
Let's get lit
I've seen a lot during my barhopping, but I don't think I ever imagined I'd see-and I mean really see-vodka like this. While I was out at "The Show" nightclub and bar convetion in Las Vegas the other week, I chatted with Cindy McClure, president of Las Vegas Distilling Group which is behind the creation of ReactionOne.16 Vodka, a vodka that-are you ready for this?-glows in the dark!
Forget glowstick-wielding clubbers, this is meant for the fashionable, image-conscious crowd, she told me. I mean, that is what the nightlife scene is all about: image. But will today's trendsetters be willing to match their cocktail with their clothing?
Anyway, I saw the guy that came up with the formula, Chris Clements, a modern-day mad scientist, complete with tattoos and spiky hair. The vodka he created is essentially your regular, non-flavored premium spirit--except for its glow-in-the-dark neon colors: yellow, pink and violet. Oh, I should note that McClure mentioned overconsumption might mean your pee will glow, but otherwise she tells us it's your average alcochol. I think I'll wait a bit to have a flourescent fancy drink. And so will Chicago; it's not yet available in our city.
