Pregnant Drinking


Women should not be drinking alcohol while pregnant, as it may seriously damage health of the newborn, causing all kind of complications to pregnancy. 
But it does not mean that pregnant women don't have a right to have a social life for the 9 month, reserving to long nights of watching old Brad Pitt movies with a gallon of chocolate chip ice cream in one hand and a remote-control in the other.

Find a good virgin drink (oxymoron..  we know) - virgin Margaritas or Mojitos is a always a great fun and available everywhere.  For your home party, you can totally indulge in (and we love this drinks names) a Virgin Mary or a Safe Sex on The Beach..
And now You can also send a virtual non-alcoholic drink to your pregnant friend virtually using Gulpon Send Drinks to Friends application on Facebook.
Virgin Mary
4 ounces tomato juice
½ ounce lemon juice
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
A dash of hot sauce
A pinch of celery salt (add to taste)
A pinch of salt (add to taste)
A pinch of pepper (add to taste)

Gulpon's short guide to Passover drinking...

For Passover, in addition to your 'every day' Kosher, there are pretty strict special holiday rules in place where all food and wine must be certified as Kosher for Passover, meaning they contain no leavened food or grains.
A famous department store kosher kingpin Manischewitz brand of sugared juice wine became synonymous with traditional Jewish holiday drinking. And while that blockbuster Manischewitz drink is as hard to call wine as it is to pronounce, it works perfectly well for all your ceremonial needs. For all gentiles we recommend to try this beverage at least once, preferably under a supervision of a more experienced  Jewish friend -  Go ahead, live a little! - pick up a $4.99 bottle of their famous Blackberry variety - it will look very traditional and will be an absolute treat for anyone over 70 and younger then 18 at your Passover table. but please remember that old school Manischewitz is not your only option!
Any wino marked 'Kosher for Passover' should work, and if you are invited to a Passover Seder (a high calorie/cholesterol traditional Jewish Passover dinner)  - make sure you bring a good kosher bottle, you can enjoy like an adult. Some of your favorite wineries will produce a special Passover batch, for example I am writing this and sampling a great bottle of Chateau Labegorce Margaux 2005 from our local vine shop...btw, I've researched my purchase using www.kosherwine.com and reviews turned out to be very accurate.
Here at Gulpon we are very big fans of the hard liqueur, and we are confident, you are going to be okay if you can pick up a bottle of a grain free vodka distilled from from potato or grape or a nice bottle of European casket Scotch... or... You can send a virtual drink to all your friends using our new Gulpon's virtual drink app!
Have a Kosher Passover!

Man in space turns 50!


Fifty years ago, Yuri Gagarin spent 108 minutes in his Vostok space ship, and became the first man in space! To celebrate this epic occasion, here at the Gulpon office, we decided to have a few shots of Russian Vodka, today's choice is Russian Standard a relatively new but extremely popular vodka brand from Russian billionaire Rustam Tariko who built his Russian Standard empire by being the first man to import Western confectionery into the orbit of the Russian market. 
Candy or not - today the brand is active worldwide in 70+ markets with sales over 2 million cases/yr. Marketing emphasizes the 100% Russian mantra - being produced by Russian recipe, from only Russian raw materials, distilled and bottled in Russia.
This one is to You, Yuri! Next one is to our dreams and ambitions!

WMC'11 Ultra Miami Drink memo

So we all know America's biggest party is in Miami in March. Party, clubs, deejays and spring breakers come together for a few weeks to celebrate party culture! 
This year, Gulpon's very own Dmitry Lovebone is reporting on popular drinks and their prices. Depending on the party and a venue, you should expect to spend anywhere from 12$ to 20$ for a simple mixed drink, and 7 -12 for more or less drinkable brew.  If You are a big star deejay like Paul van Dyk or David Guetta - you don't have to pay for your beverages, but since you are not not any of them and go to Miami to listen to medium-ego deejays - prepare to spend 30-100 per night for beverages.

Women...

It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it.
