Absolut Dismay

You need to buy *good* vodka, not Absolut.


//Yes, snap is a vodka snob.


Hangar One Buddha's Hand Citron. Or Mandarin Orange. Can't say anything yet about the Chipolte -- I'm betting it makes an awesome Bloody Mary.

I'm a vodka virgin, wandering the aisles of the liquor store alone... I thought "mmmm, pepper! I like spicy!"

Honestly, this stuff is so nasty that I don't think I ever want to buy vodka again.

(but if anyone offers me a sip of some dionysian ambrosia made from vodka, I'll accept)

[smilingcat]

use it in a Flambe maybe.

I can't even drink wine without having adverse effect so I can't even begin to think about drinking distilled spirits.

Peppery alcohol... Flambe a rare piece of expensive cut of steak for a good show??

Not much of a help. Sorry. No clue here...

No clue- I haven't had vodka since college- a long time ago. I'll just take a shot of Irish whiskey, thank you.

Vodka is the only type of hard liquor I can drink, but I have never heard of vodka with pepper. Sounds terrible.

I don't buy flavored vodka, either.

Maybe you could infuse it with cocoa and mix in some sugar and make a spicy chocolate liqueur, the way my mom used to make coffee liqueur with instant coffee. (Mind you she had a source for medical grain alcohol at the time. But I've heard of people doing it with vodka.)

hmmm, this sounds like it could be yummy. The only way I've seen people drink pepper vodka is straight up - which doesn't sound good to me. Then again, I like MY vodka in milk with a little Kahlua - White Russians are great if you get the percentages right

Hmmm...what about making vodka sauce for pasta? That's my favorite kind of spaghetti sauce. I LOVE cheese!

Flavored vodka? Never knew they had such a thing.

Oh yeah...there is such an animal. Infused is OK, but distilled is so much better.

There is a bacon-flavored vodka. I kid you not.

[Karma007]

Don't some folks use it for cleaning?

There are also fruit-flavored rums (love coconut rum myself!)

I think all the flavored vodkas sound kinda yummy (citron, mango, vanilla, etc.) except pepper! I wouldn't drink them straight but use in a fruity drink.
