We made friends with Hotmovies, another Philadelphia company, when we went to their offices and did a GK demo. They were so impressed they decided to blog about it.

Gray Kagnaroo Personal Liquor Filter

Anyone who’s spent so much as a semester in college knows the bitter sting of bad liquor. You get what’s cheap, you get what’s avaliable. I half-remember passing grain alcohol around a dorm room in Delaware, maybe Maryland, just hoping I wouldn’t end up blind. Not to mention the hang-over.

I’d like to think I’ve come a ways since then but the “bar” area of my counter top tells a different story. Four years removed from college life and I’m still just buying what’s cheap and what’s avaliable.

The guys at Gray Kangaroo had the same problem but rather than buy better gin they built the Liquor Filter. You just insert an empty bottle in one end and a cheap bottle in the other and filter it back and forth three times. The bite is gone; alcohol goes down like water.

The quality of any liquor depends on how many times it’s been filtered. That, plus the fancy bottle and state tax, is what you’re being charged for. Now that you can turn anything into Grey Goose with Gray Kangaroo my cheap liquor habits are an asset.

Admittedly, my first time out was a mess. Just flipping bottles of tequila upside down, whatever your best intentions, can be a disaster. Use the liquor filter over the sink and away from open flame. Otherwise the apparatus itself is easy enough to maintain. It’s dishwasher friendly and stores comfortably in any cabinet.

The Gray Kangaroo Liquor Filter is the only essential for the serious drinker.
