vodblogWell, still alive after that hideous distillation of doom, but on a suggestion I tried to see if it could burn. Not least because when I googled the name of the drink there were not an insignificant number of hits warning about vodka with chloroform in it.
The burn test is negative on it, didn’t even catch, but that’s hardly too exacting as chloroform will only burn at very high temperatures anyway.
Which leaves the question what to do with this… stuff. As a side piece I’ll start investigating different things you can do with hideous vodka other than drink it; normally I’d say such things are a waste but in this case it’s sparing anyone from drinking it which is a good thing.
I’m actually reasonably surprised that it didn’t freeze either; poor quality vodkas typically have low alcohol content but this one was 37.5% the base standard of booze content for vodkas.
