We’ve previously featured Spabettie’s scrumptious-looking vegan s’more cocktails. The cups were made out of chocolate using Cool Shooters ice trays, so you can devour them with no clean up concerns.
Now Spabettie is continuing with the same theme, this time using vegan white chocolate. She poured a pepper-infused vodka into the chocolate cups to create a hot Valentine’s Day treat.

From what I’ve been able to piece together from a commenter at 9GAG and a few travel books, there’s a bar called The Real McCoy in the Barrikadnaya neighborhood of Moscow that sells vodka bottle loaves like this. It has all of the components of a complete and nutritious breakfast.

You’ve almost certainly heard of the terror stories circulating about teen girls using vodka soaked tampons to get drunk. As it turns out though, this big news story is probably pretty bunk. We know that now thanks to Huffington Post blogger Danielle Crittenden, who actually tried this technique and wrote about the outcome.
If you don’t want to read the fairly graphic article, here’s her results:
If there is any smidgen of effect, it’s notional, and probably only psychological. Overall, vodka-in-a-tampon seems a very inefficient, not to mention unpleasant, way to get drunk. I suppose the positive is that there is no danger of a second round.
Makes you wonder how many of these other “disturbing teen trends” are totally untrue too.

I love cupcakes and I like vodka as much as the next person. But I have no desire to mix the two. Apparently Cupcake Vodka feels differently, because they’ve recently come out with a sweet spirit in four flavors: Original, Frosting, Devil’s Food and Chiffon. Has the cupcake trend officially jumped the shark?
Ah, the stupid things you do when you’re drunk. Here’s what happened to Michal Kawolski, 23, after a few hours of drinking:
A Polish man had to be rescued by coastguards after he drifted out to sea on a sheet of ice clutching a bottle of vodka.
Michal Kawolski, 23, had been drinking with pals at Gdansk when he decided to test the strength of the ice forming beside the shore.
But as he clambered on, a piece broke away and swept terrified Mr Kawolski into the Baltic Sea by powerful currents.
"We dared him to do it and it seemed like a good idea after a few hours of drinking," said one friend.
I wonder if he helped himself to some Vodka on the rocks while adrift. After all, there’s plenty of ice around: Link

While Obama laments the slow economic recovery here in the United States, Russian’s finance minister has got his own idea on the perfect stimulus deal:

Alexei Kudrin called for increased consumption of tobacco and alcohol in a bid to boost the state’s revenues, reports Metro.
"If you smoke a pack of cigarettes, that means you are giving more to help solve social problems," commented Kudrin.
"People should understand: Those who drink, those who smoke are doing more to help the state."
You’ve probably heard of bacon vodka, but salmon vodka? Would you try this flavor if you had the chance?
Dutch distiller Medea Spirits came up with a clever advertising gimmick for their vodka: scrolling LED labels. You can even program them to express 6 of your own messages, each of which is up to 225 characters long. Video in the links.

A researcher at a Russian university has developed a powdered form of alcohol that will soon make the consumption of vodka more convenient. From The Times of India:
Russian professor Evgeny Moskalev of Saint Petersburg Technological University has evolved a technique that allows turning alcohol into powder and packing it in pills. The new technique can solidify any kind of alcohol, including whisky, cognac, wine and beer. The new technique can solidify any kind of alcohol, including whisky, cognac, wine and beer.
“Dry” vodka can be wrapped in paper and carried around in a pocket or a bag. Vodka in form of a pill would come handy at parties when “consumers” would be able to calculate their exact required dosage.
Verily, we live in an age of medical wonders.

Apparently the key to creating “brain tissue” is to mix acidic lime juice with the vodka. Then when you add the Bailey’s Irish Cream via a straw, it curdles into cortical gyri. A splash of grenadine provides the blood. The ingredient list and instructions are at Folkinz. Via Found Here.
You will need a couple of these if you plan to eat any of Jill’s brain cake…
You probably already heard you can turn gummi bears into alcoholic delights by soaking them in vodka for a few days. If you want more details than that, or you’ve already tried this experiment and it didn’t work so well, this site tested a method that worked and posted a how-to with lots of pictures. (Turns out you can do this with sugar-free gummis, too!)
The how-to part of this is pretty simple, so I decided to make things a little more interesting. In addition to regular vodka gummi bears, I made vodka sugar-free gummi bears, vodka gummi worms (purely to see if they turned out any cooler looking than the bears) and vodka Red Fish (these were disgusting, but in the interest of science I will share my mistakes as well as my triumphs).

Here’s a tutorial that shows you how to infuse vodka with Skittles. There are a number of tutorials about this on the net, but this particular one is pretty detailed about the process (including mistakes the author made and later fixed) and also includes many helpful pictures. The end result is five bottles of vodka, one in each Skittles flavor.
