JRPJR Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 I had the foresight to stock up on gin before the ban on sales but neglected to buy dry vermouth. Any one have a thought where I might buy some. Even though I only add a tough of vermouth if start drinking straight gin I’ll feel like an alcoholic!

Mainecoons Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Did you check El Torito? I understand the liquor stores are open in Jocotepec also. Perhaps Habacht can confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm1mex Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Paz liquor store can sell it if it’s 12% or less alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that since it was a wine it would be for sale but it is a fortified wine with an ABV between 15-18%. It's time to put the gin in a salted rimmed glass with grapefruit juice for a classic Salty Dog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRPJR Posted May 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Well, I’ll fill you in on my odyssey. As suggested I went to El Torino-no luck. Next stop, Walmart. The vermouth way in a row that was blocked off by a skid of wine. Not to be deterred, I reached down the row a snagged 2 bottles of vermouth. I figured I’d try my luck at the cash register shrugging my shoulders and saying it was just vino. To make my ploy less obvious,I tossed some produce into the cart before heading for check out. Busted, the cashier actually read the alcohol content on the label. Driving home to west Ajijic I noticed, as Deborah M has now pointed out, that the door to Vinos America’s was open. Embarrassingly, I made a u-turn and pulled into the parking lot.They were more than happy to sell me 2 bottles and I fled the parking lot before they could come out to tell me they had make a mistake. Pretty pathetic, eh! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexy Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Paz liquor store alongside of Superlake is selling all kinds of booze not just wine and beer. Go there for vermouth. Lexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
