<< I've had vodka that had a hab or two soaking in the bottle for a couple months. Very hot, but too raw/harsh. Better and smoother, IMO, was the bottle that had a lemon wedge or two that had soaked with the habs. >> Chuck, After your mention of this awhile back we gave it a try. Excellent, liked Lime even more! Great martinis!
