Weird vodka flavors?
Ok, so I just saw a bottle of *pepper* flavored vodka- who the fuck would drink that shit?
I've seen interesting flavors before, more exotic than odd, such as peach, mango, etc...but pepper? Ick.

What other ones have you seen? Apparently, vodka is the best alcohol to "pick up" an introduced flavor.

20. Have you ever had one made with gin instead of vodka?
A friend/bartender turned me onto this a year or two ago.

I used to despise Bloody Mary's -- even though I liked the idea of them. They always just ended up tasting like watered down ketchup -- no matter how much spice, etc. was put into them.

So, I tried one with gin. And I don't think I've had a brunch without one ever since. Something about the gin gives the drink a "fuller" taste than it has with vodka.

7. Pertsovka is great!!
Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Hot pepper vodka is delicious.

I also really like vodka infused with fresh dill....

10. the pepper is pretty good, actually
Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 03:19 PM by Merrick
my friend had a bottle of it. I dont know if I'd buy one myself, but it wasn't bad - certainly better than some of the fruity flavors and definitely better than the vanilla flavor (which is just nasty)

16. I've had the not so unordinary
like strawberry, peach, watermelon. I've got a sample of I think citrus fruit but haven't tried it with my sprite yet. That was the strangest I'd seen, just seemes like a bunch of fruits together.

25. I've had vanilla

Not bad, but I'm not a fan of vanilla to start with.

19. I am Drawn to the Chicken-Flavored Variety
just haven't splurged on a bottle yet.

Isnt' there a chicken-flavored vodka? I swear I've seen a bottle of Stolichnaya with a chicken on it.

24. weirdly enough...

27. No chicken-flavored Stoli
Stoli comes in vodka flavor plus lemon, raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, orange and peach flavors. No chicken.

You may have seen a Polish vodka with a bird on the label, but the bird is the symbol of Poland and not a chicken.

How drunk would you have to be to like chicken-flavored vodka?

28. I'm not into the flavored vodkas
My theory is that if I want fruit, I'll eat fruit - if I want vodka, I'll drink vodka. But I sell vodkas in citrus, mandarin, cranberry, blackberry, raspberry, vanilla, apple... I think that's all I carry.

I ALSO carry rum flavored with apple, citrus, raspberry and vanilla. It all sounds gross to me and so far, the ones I've tasted have filled all my expectations.

My daughter, however, loves Absolut Raspberry...
