In her Velocity Nightlife column, The Bar Hopper, Harris talked up the hip selection of adult bevs, including the Finlandia Mango:

“I found it hard to stick to the two-drink maximum I had set for myself after having the Basil Mango Orange cocktail ($8.50), a mix of Finlandia Mango vodka, mango puree and fresh basil and orange. It was fruity enough to tame my sweet tooth, yet strong enough to help me relax.”

Kinda makes my filtered water taste even lamer right now.

Cocktails, anyone?
