As soon as you smell the fennel infused vodka you understand the potential. The other flavors add some nice depth. I am sure we could come up with additional flavors that would continue to improve matters. The cola is not entirely necessary but adds color and a bit of sweetness.

The first thing you will note when you try this stuff is that - well - it doesn't hurt. This maybe a disappointment if you appreciate the suffering that comes along with drinking Jag shot after Jag shot. I will concede that I experienced a moment of disappointment myself. But the combination of flavors soon left me wondering what all of that suffering was worth.

Allow to infuse for one to several weeks. This is one of my favorites.

Ginger-Mint Lemonade

1 part Mint Infused Vodka

1 part Ginger Infused Vodka

2 parts Lemonade

Honestly I did not think I would make the mint infused vodka more than once.  The ginger lemonade is an obvious and delicious combination.  A guest last weekend threw in some of the mint vodka and I really thought she would take a sip and leave the rest of the glass.  On the contrary, she was soon making a round for everyone in the house.
