Hi, Folks! Uh-Oh, I found a “just-gotta-have-one-of-these” props. I was driving on I-75 here in FL yesterday and saw a large, white van in front of me. Being a Halloween enthusiast – it had a huge picture of a crystal clear bottle in the shape of a SKULL, with vodka in it -- and being a vodka drinker, I immediately wrote down the Web site.

I thought it was bogus until I went to their site I certainly enjoyed Dan Aykrord’s intro/teaser about the product...quite clever. I later received an Email communication from Andrew Stodart, the VP of Marketing at Diamond Estates Wines & Spirits Ltd. and he said it was available at ABC liquor stores here. Looks like I found me a new prop! Hmmmm…fill it with red water after it’s empty and it should look REALLY cool.

Cheers!

Somebody posted about those a while back and I really really wanted them, but my cheapy liquor store has them at $45 a bottle and it's about a child-sized skull size.... so I couldn't justify the price. The good vodka I usually buy costs half that for the same amount, so you are really paying a pretty penny for the bottle.

However, I mentioned to the hubby that it would be a good birthday or anniversary present.... :D

I did go to the website. They were going to help me find liquor store near me. But I found one on my own. I found one of the skulls, at a local larger liquor store. They don't get many and they sell fast. I will have to make some bloody mary pitchers this summer. :D I will want to use it someway in my Halloween display.

05/01/09 Update...

My lovely wife dug deeper on this and found the following:

1.) ABC selling Dan's signed bottles availablehttp://shop.abcfws.com/CRYSTAL-HEAD-VODKA-SIGNED-BY-DAN-AYKROYDbrSize-750ML-P15209.aspx http://shop.abcfws.com/CRYSTAL-HEAD-VODKA-SIGNED-BY-DAN-AYKROYDbrSize-750ML-P15209.aspx.

2.) An on-line slide show here of Dan "meet-and-greet" type thing at ABC in Orlando promoting the product.



Just more FYI.

Thanks for the slide show Doc. I went through them, and sure enough, slide #21, waaaaaaay in the back under the Chilled Wine display, there I am, standing in line! (blue shirt, just visible over the head of the lady Dan's got his arm around). Long line, but I enjoyed it, and he's a great guy (wouldn't leave until everyone got the pictures or signatures they wanted). Thanks again for the link.

Wow, Brad, I think I see a speck of a head under the word "wine" on that cooler. Didn't you get a personal pic of you and Dan? That would be too cool!! So you have a SIGNED Crystal Head bottle? Aw, man, I am so jealous.

O.K I don't know how I missed this thread before - Anyway my husband and I were talking last night and he brought up the crystal skulls. I have heard of them briefly but he must have seen a show on the Discovery Channel recently. Than I found this thread - I have called the liquor store that I love that is about 40 minutes away and yes they do have a bottle $49. I plan on getting it in the next day or so - I can tase the diamond goodness already!

I'm building an LED changing lighted box to set it upon. I'll make an opening to let the colors shine right up into it. I'll post pics when it's done. Geeze, the "evaporation rate" here in FL is pretty high...the vodka just keeps disappearing (hiccup). Weird. (hiccup)....same thing with the cranberry juice.

I was at a Bar on Saturday that had an EMPTY bottle that they have in a raffle for a fund raiser. $5 - 1- 10 chance - for a good cause.

When I was talking to the bartender I asked him "it is for a Raffle - you are not selling it?" Well there was a mix-up in our conversation so after I had ordered my Absolute I asked when they are doing the raffle? His responce was when the bottle is empty. Damn Him I HAD to order another drink. It was good and yes I could taste the diamondy goodness!

And I thought only wines were "sparkling"; that's one gem of a vodka.
