They also work well in ouzo. Cut them in half for two reasons, they fit in the bottle that way, and to prevent mold on the inside. You might consider whether the people will want to drink it right away, or are willing to let it age. If you make it far enough in advance so it has a chance to age, the peppers will tend to blanche out to a pale ivory cream color. Scott... KCK
