Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I'll blame it on the time of the year, but the first thing that I thought when I heard about the garlic-flavored vodka from Russian distillery Vodochnaya Artel "YAT" was that it must be designed to keep vampires away. Why else would you want to drink it? As it turns out, the garlic vodka is part of a new line of strongly flavored "bitter nastoykas" from the company, which has also released a horseradish-flavored vodka.
The spirits are supposed to be served with food, enhancing the flavor of the dishes. The horseradish "fits in well with meat dishes, for instance jellied tongue or herring seasoned with spring onions" and the garlic, which actually contains natural garlic, "will warm you and keep you off cold."
If these two flavors aren't exactly appealing to you, and you don't have any vampires that you want to ward off using the garlic vodka, the company also makes honey and cornbread flavored vodkas that sound like they would be more appealing to a general audience.

Actually, the garlic flavored vodka would probably be good splashed in tomato sauce, as the alcohol would release the alcohol-soluble flavors in the tomato and the garlic would add to the sauce. In the same vein, the horseradish vodka would probably make for a killer Bloody Mary.

I bet you could cook with it too. Maybe a Penne a la Garlic Vodka sauce. Yum!

Talk about inner conflict.
Most people who sipped a shot would just kinda nod a bit, start smiling and laughing and look around as though there were no other shared language, entirely unable to describe the taste.

Come on! can you imagine going on a date, dring garlic vodka...forget that kiss at the end of the night. I don't want to be prudish or anything but just imagining the combination makes me gag. I like garlic on my food..but I don't need it in my drink. If I want to keep warm, I'll bring my coat.
