🟢 Not your regular #Venice gondola ride!
🛶 The waters in #Venice's main canal turned fluorescent green on Sunday.

Wait it's supposed to be wine? Used to mix it with cheap vodka in my early 20s.
I think there are vodka cocktails with wine, or at least punches. My issue with all sugary alcohols is acids cleanse the booze flavor with 99% efficacy, while sugar struggles to achieve any cleaning, although it can mask well when dumped in. I'd rather just east a pickle or an orange than turn it into syrup
I feel like fortified wine is either banned in Italy, called something else that doesn't include the word wine, or has even more alcohol than Mad Dog 20/20 and tastes delicious.
