Food Fridays: Kick Your Vodka up a Notch

First of all, a small announcement. I have a lot of year-end festivities coming up, so this will likely be my last post until January. On that note, I toast you with three links about vodka.

1. Making fruit-infused vodka

This comes from the blog Modern Beet, which suggests making infused vodka is a good lazy Sunday activity:

I’m definitely going to give this a try and see how it turns out.

(Incidentally, I found Modern Beet via the Stanford blog directory (blog.stanford.edu), which has a ton of cool blogs, including faculty blogs.)

2. Mixing vodka or liquors with diet sodas

Apparently, diet colas make hard liquor absorb quicker into the bloodstream. Less filling, and more effect?

3. Airplanes and vodka do not mix

If you are traveling with vodka, please don’t copy this guy:
