I love Vodka. Not just any vodka, but GOOD vodka. I have been referred to as a "vodka snob" a time or two. Or a bunch of times, but who's counting? I like what I like. When Crystal Head Vodka contacted me and inquired about sending a sample and trying their recipes, I was like, "UM, have you met me? That's a yes."
