Put Obsessed to the (Taste) Test:
In case you need something to take the edge off during this crazy holiday season, C + D decided to put some vodka to the test. Brought to the show by an unexpected Instagram DM, Raincane Alaskan Vodka is the vodka of the day. C + D tried it two ways—chilled on its own and mixed with club soda and a squeeze of lime. Listen to hear what they thought, and visit the Raincane website to find a bottle at a store near you.
