Just had this for the first time at the local Vodka lover's joint, Pravda. All I can say is wow! I am not really a wine, spirit, and beer snob. I guess I just don't have the motivation to discern the subtlest of differences between different makers. Don't get me wrong - I can tell a good wine, but I just would not consider myself overly interested in the subject. In fact, when drinking, I like to keep it as simple as possible these days. No mixed drink business - beer, martinis, or straight (higher-end) liquor are best for me. And one thing I never liked is flavored vodka. Until now. Wow. Horseradish vodka. This stuff went down so smooth, and then two seconds after you down it, a mindblowing kick hits the back of your throat and works its way to your mouth. Obviously it tastes like horseradish/wasabi, but it just fits so well with the taste of vodka that I'm surprised it isn't more popular. I haven't been this excited about a spirit for years. Not sure what brand I had as I did not order it, but I'm fairly certain this can be homemade. This seems like a reasonable starting point: http://www.guntheranderson.com/liqueurs/horserad.htm http://localfoods.about.com/od/allre...eradishvod.htm I hope you guys get a chance to try it out at some point.
