Christmas Candy Cane Vodka

Above all else, when it comes to Christmas, the candy cane is king. Well king of the candy. I don't want to go into any religion since that may cause people to drink a lot more. So let's take a look at what we are working with.
The twelve days of Christmas? How about 12 candy canes? Just your standard variety of cane.
But I was getting the feeling that 12 might be too many, so I went with 8.

Sweet'N Low Butterscotch Vodka

Every once in a while people ask me if my drinks are too sugary. I reply to them, "If you're concerned about the sugar content, you're not drunk enough." A few times after that, they wanted to know if there is a diabetic candy booze that they can enjoy. Maybe. Perhaps. Yeast and sugar and all that. In any event, I found a sugar free candy to play with.
See? Sugar free. The package even says so.
This package contained exactly 10 pieces of candy, which means I'm going to use them all.

Original Spree Vodka

Did you know that Willy Wonka made the candy Spree? Did you know that they made a second version of Spree, found out that it was bad, and then went back to the original recipe, much like New Coke? Nor did I.
This candy comes in a nice and coloured box. I found this baby at the dollar store, because I'm looking for candies I can find that I haven't done yet.

Vanilla Vodka

Part two of the Vanilla Vodka infusion fest, this one took a bit more time than just adding extract, and drinking. This required a bit more finesse.
I found a delightful bulk store, which I believe is called "Bulk Foods", and they were offering tubes of vanilla.
These vanilla pods come in pairs, but with how powerful they are, I decided to just go with one.

Artificial Vanilla Extract Vodka

Vanilla has always been my favourite flavour of Coke. In fact, I would love for them to bring it back to Canada, but unfortunately it was traded away so that we can avoid suffering the dreaded 8 month long Canadark. The ice giants gladly accepted that deal, but sometimes I think it would have been worth it to keep the Vanilla Coke.
I decided to try earlier on to do both versions, the real an artifical. Technically I could have done also the vanilla extract, but that was not in the budget for this trip.
