Weeniecello: hot dog-infused vodka

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Aug 22nd 2006 @ 5:10PM

eGullet member Andrew Fenton recently posted about his current success with making what he calls Weeniecello, vodka infused with hot dogs. Apparently the Hebrew National all-beef franks were treated to a five-week soak in 100-proof Smirnoff. The vodka was then strained and used in a Weenie-Tini, Fenton's blend of Weeniecello, dry vermouth and sauerkraut brine. Fenton says the cocktail has "a richness and subtle beefiness not to be found in traditional vegetarian cocktails." One eGulleteer pointed out another page with more pork martinis.

I think Hebrew National come out of a Con-Agra plant.

This is appalling.

Although Hebrew National are the only hot dog I personally will eat. Drinking them crosses a line.
