A) I think the outside of the cup is exempt from that rule.
B) I use the cup for other stuff, like ice water and tea.
C) The 20 oz Yeti mug is God's own gin and tonic transporter/dispenser:

1. Decant a 12oz can of tonic water into your mug.

2. Add approx. 2 oz of gin. Tanqueray is good, so is Bombay Sapphire. Hendricks is outstanding but pricey.

3. Juice of half a lime.

4. Fill with ice.

Keeps the cocktail cold for a long time. Doesn't sweat. Classier than a red plastic cup. Won't break if you drop it. If you use the plastic top, you can usually save most of the beverage if it's dropped.

Sometimes I'll mix it up by adding/substituting rum and/or some other citrus juice.

The SWO is correct. Unusual for an officer.

pretty much, that would only fill up my 40 oz ozark trail by about a third.

Btw, the 30 oz ones re on sale at walmart, and they now have mug handles for them. :ugeek:

Tanqueray is the official gin of the blues, per the great Johnnie Johnson.

I figured it would be Seagrams Lime Twisted gin for the blues, since it's cheaper and you don't have to worry if you run out of limes. I usually make mine in a pint glass, but I may have to switch to a Yeti.

I've never gotten anything bad from Kirkland. From jerky to merino wool socks to booze.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.
