"oyster shooters" news and stories

I was browsing for vodka recipes and came across this interesting news at About.com. Apparently, The Garden Variety Vodka Company has released a new line of herb-infused vodkas. I'll admit, my first thought wasn't about which drinks they would enhance, it was how could I use them in my food recipes. Either way, the flavors seem quite interesting - Rosemary, Cilantro, Dill Leaf and Fennel, each infused in a grain vodka.

Their website offers a number of food recipes in which you can use the various vodkas, including such concoctions as Kumamoto Oyster Shooters, Southwestern Cilantro Chicken, and Baked Salmon w/ Mustard Dill Sauce, plus naturally they have a whole section dedicated to beverage/cocktail recipes. If you prefer to stick to drinks you are more familiar with, they recommend adding the following flavors to standard classics: Rosemary - Add to a classic martini. Cilantro - Margarita. Dill Leaf - Bloody Mary. Fennel - Straight up, or on the rocks.

Apparently they have only been released in select locations so far, so I haven't had the opportunity to try these yet. I'd love to hear your opinion if you've tasted them. Do they enhance your cocktails, or would you rather see them in your cuisine?
