Slim,

It has a unusual opener. You twist the cap and a small pour spout pops out under a small plastic cover. Great for pouring shots.

I was really surprised to find it. It was the same price as in Ukraine too. About $12 for a fifth. It has a little bite from the pepper on your tongue and then the real smooth burn as it goes down. I'm not a big vodka drinker, but I could get used to this stuff pretty easily.

Good luck on your search. In my opinion, it is well worth the search.

Sounds cool. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Slim and others,

It took me a bit to find a suitable representation of the Honey Pepper Vodka I like.

It is Khortytsa.

Where did you find it? Liquor Store? Russian store?

Brad,

I have to go to Sacramento to shop at Russian stores. Sacramento has a Russian speaking population of about 120,000 I've been told. We have several stores there we like. Across the street from the first one I took my wife to is a liquor store. They carry lots of foreign brands of liquor and beer. The area is called Citrus Heights. I have not found any Russian stores that carry any alcohol. I'm just glad I don't have to go all the way to Ukraine to find this.

We generally use it for special occasions or ceremonial uses. My consumption generally is limited to 3 shots as that seems to be the minimum required to satisfy any Ukrainian.
