The hard life of a world famous cocktail journalist




I'm the world's famous cocktail journalist(ess) Anna Väkeväinen - a recognized sipologist but mostly focusing on gonzo reportage. I'm so famous that sometimes replying to all the invitations and fan mail keeps me from doing the actual work: drinking. But I always get back on the track soon.

Oh, it's not easy to be a world famous cocktail journalist. Invitations abound, freebies jam the mailbox; I even got an invitation to go to the Carribeans by this world famous actor whose name I won't mention because I want to appreciate his privacy. Maybe just a couple of details: he's married to a beautiful French actress/model/singer, they have two kids, and he's sometimes acted a pirate. Well, he owns a couple of islands in the Carribeans, and I guess he's heard of my work, he's a great fan of gonzo journalism. And then he begs me go drink cocktails on his island. Can you imagine? Does he think I'm gonna fly all the way to the Carrebeans just because a famous, talented, goodlooking and bloody rich actor happens to own an island there, with desert beaches, coral reefs, 360 degree picture window and some mating lizards? Hah.

People have all these misconceptions about us cocktail journalists. As if we're superficial and vain. Tell you what: you can dive deeper in a cocktail glass than in deep water scubadiving.

What I'm trying to say is that there has been too little time for what I know best: drinking cocktails.
