Geez, thevgpress is filled with alcoholics. At least you're a completely insane one.
If the vodka tastes like the sandwich, does the sandwich taste like the vodka?
Its still very clearly vodka, just with some hints of cheese and butter. You won't mistake this for a sammich though. Suprisingly enough its not terrible.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
And... next time, just skip the vodka and stick to the weed and grilled cheese sandwich. Many lols.
And... that actually worked? (watched the second one).
Yeah it definitely worked. Vodka is good at picking up flavors, and lots of stuff infuses well with it. Normally people use things like fruit though.
Robio, give me cool cocktail recipes.
Of the non-weird variety, I mean. I don't want to make a taco martini.
I can do that. What do you like as your spirit of choice? Rum, tequila, vodka, gin, liqueurs?? Gimmie something to work with or I'll give you a recipe for "deli sandwich gin." And sadly enough I'm not making that one up.
Eeeew.
Ok let me check what I have ready to go...
Tequila cocktails for my wife. Rum for me. But that's personal preferences. I should have vodka, whiskey, brandy ready to go, I also have a few liquor bottles around including plum, coffee, orange, mint and almond.
This is a recipe that I've done before with rum - http://thehairpin.com/2011/05/happy-hour-diy-apple-infused-spiced-rum I do it slightly differently though. Here's the gist of it.
Get a good dark rum that you like and then peel and cut up 2 or 3 apples. Take all the apple pieces and add 2 vanilla seeds and let it all soak together for 5 or 6 days. This recipe uses cloves and tells you to do it for 10 days, but that's really if you're going to use a cheap rum. If you use something better then you don't need to let it sit that long. It will end up tasting like a shot of alcoholic apple pie.
I've got a good infusion recipe for tequila too if the wife likes really spicy foods. I need to consult my recipe book on that one to get it right though.
BTW Steel, I have that recipe for your wife - pepper infused tequila. It takes a little work but it's so worth it.
In one large jar, fill it:
- 1 sliced red pepper
- 1 sliced green pepper
- 1 sliced yellow pepper
- 2 or 3 jalepeno peppers
- 1 serrano chili
After all of that is in there fill it with gold tequila, and let it sit for 2 or 3 days. After that it should be ready, and you can use it for anything you usually use tequila for, but it'll be significantly spicier.
Okay I've been meaning to post something I've done new for a while so here's some stuff from last month. Marshmallow peep vodka!
The creation:
And here is the horrible horrible end result
"We don't want hobo vodka"
This is thevgpress. Of course we do.
These are apparently much better when they turn out bad!
Yeah people are entertained when they come out bad. There's a reason the peep vodka videos are my most watched. I'm debating doing pizza vodka, but I'd almost be too scared to drink that.

You have a charming grimace.
No, its not cross dressing. When I'm not gaming or working or doing conventions I like to drink. Moreso, I like to experiment with alcohol and the last few days I've been messing around with something really bizarre. A grilled cheese martini. I infused my own grilled cheese vodka and well if you're curious to see me or how it worked out, here you go:
