From the left: vanilla bean, ginger, and vanilla/cinnamon. I like to mix the vanilla bean with OJ. Yum! It was one and a half beans to about 3/4's of a 750ml bottle, the beans split and scraped, left to sit for a week and a half. For the ginger, my second try at this one, I grated the ginger for a change of pace. This makes the flavor particularly strong, as I suspected it might, but I am a little disappointed in the resulting color. The v/c owes its color to a cinnamon stick and goes very well with cider. I filtered them all through my gold coffee filter and they are now sitting in the freezer awaiting your visit.

The little waters of life
My flavored vodka experiments lined up in a row on the very limited space of the kitchen counter:

In another lifetime I used to frequent a place called Khin Khao on Spring St. There I had my first ginger vodka and it was amazing. I love all things ginger.
It's gingery hot & spicy and I've been mixing it with OJ. Umm!
