Thai Bird Vodka

Getting reviews...
You know your buddy who can't get enough hot sauce in his Bloody Mary at brunch? The gal who never misses the opening of the latest cocktail lounge, who loves her Mary mixed with a little element of surprise? This vodka infusion is for them. Gorgeous with its floating Thai bird chiles and whole peppercorns, it gets hotter every day. Let it sit for at least a week for intense heat.
