Drink Your Food: 16 Flavored Vodkas Inspired by Everyday Eats

Peanut Butter and Jelly is a beloved American sandwich. In fact, Van Gogh Vodka is so taken with it that they infused their vodka with the flavor of a classic PB and J. Since it's impossible to serve the beverage between two slices of white bread with the crusts cut off, Van Gogh recommends mixing it into a cocktail by adding cream and berry liqueur.

Pickles on a burger, served with a sandwich, or fried are normal American fare. But dill pickle-flavored vodka? That's certainly a new one. Sazerac Co. introduced "Big Dill" pickle vodka after Jason Zimecki, a Virginia native, ran out of vodka mixers and went with pickle juice instead. While pickle-infused vodka is one way of drinking with pickles, another is the newly popular pickleback shot: a person takes a shot of cheap booze, then chases it with a shot of pickle juice to counter the taste of the alcohol.

Referent Vodka boasts the healing powers of horseradish, claiming that its flavored vodka will improve the symptoms of a common cold, a stomachache, and (most importantly) a bland beverage. The company suggests using the spicy drink in place of plain vodka in a Bloody Mary, as an aperitif, or as a palate cleanser before a nice dinner.

Crop Harvest Earth vodkas are proudly USDA certified organic. The name alone makes these vodkas sound as though they come straight from the farm. The tomato-flavored version only enhances this image, and Crop promises that the drink "perfectly conveys the flavor of a vine-ripened tomato." While the obvious use would be in a Bloody Mary, Crop insists that its vodka will inspire new recipe ideas.

In the fruit family, Van Gogh Vodka steps outside of the typical berry box of flavored vodkas by creating a banana flavor. The vodka is said to feature the tropical smell and taste of Venezuelan bananas. In case you want to swap dessert for a cocktail, Van Gogh suggests pairing the vodka with Irish cream and chocolate liqueur.

This chilli pepper vodka isn't just made with any old chilli. In fact, it is infused with Naga Chillis, some of the hottest chilli peppers in the world. Nagas rank 100,000 on the Scoville scale (compare that to the jalapeño's measly 5,000 ranking). This vodka is so spicy that many retailers have a disclaimer warning buyers of the risks of consuming a product with such extreme heat.

With the end of the bacon trend nowhere in sight, it's no surprise that a bacon-flavored vodka hit the market. Not only does this product exist, but it is actually quite popular and has won several awards from the Beverage Testing Institute. One innovative drink that the Bakon vodka company suggests is the Elvis Presley — bacon vodka, banana and hazelnut liqueurs, cream, and a banana slice for garnish help recreate the king's favorite sandwich in drink form.

Don't expect to be blowing bubbles with this vodka version of the classic chewing gum. Simply called "Bubble," this vodka from Three Olives uses a mix of fruit flavors that make the drink taste like a giant gumball. The vodka even comes in a pretty pink hue to match a stick of bubble gum.

Three Olives vodka is making it clear that cereal isn't just for breakfast anymore. In its vodka called Loopy, a mix of tropical fruit flavors are infused, making it reminiscent of Froot Loops cereal.

While Pinnacle's marshmallow vodka cannot recreate the texture of the fluffy, chewy treat, it does lend itself to classic marshmallow recipes in cocktail form. "Toasted Marshmallow," "Gimme S'more," and "Marshmallow Fluff" are just a few of the drinks you can make with this vodka.

As if bubble gum and marshmallow weren't enough for the infused vodka world, Pinnacle came up with a Swedish fish flavor dubbed "Gummy." Instead of a vodka soda, drink a "Gummy Soda" with Gummy vodka, lemon lime soda, and perhaps some Swedish fish candy for garnish.

Baked-good vodkas, like cake flavors, have become surprisingly popular, but this cookie dough vodka skips the baking process altogether. No raw eggs to worry about with this beverage, and for the ultimate alcoholic chocolate cookie experience, Pinnacle Vodka suggests drinking its cookie dough vodka with milk.

Apparently the cupcake craze doesn't just apply to actual cupcakes. In fact, one vodka company is dedicated solely to the sweet treats. Called Cupcake Vodka, this vodka maker has it all, including a ginger snap-flavored vodka. Cupcake Vodka explains that the aromas of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves will have customers flashing back to pulling a fresh batch of ginger snaps out of the oven.

A cupcake isn't a cupcake without frosting. To pair with its cupcake-flavored vodka, the Cupcake Vodka distillery created an alcohol that mimics the flavor of vanilla frosting. Surprisingly, there is no mention of drinking the original Cupcake and Frosting vodkas together, but the frosting vodka is featured in a cocktail called, "Let Them Eat Cupcake."

The 360 vodka company claims to be the world's first line of eco-friendly vodkas. But that's not the only appeal of glazed donut vodka. 360 explains that a real glazed donut has around 250 calories, while a serving of donut vodka, which has the "irresistible taste of America's most-popular donut," is only 80 calories per serving.

Who needs a vodka and coke when there's a cola-flavored vodka on the market? Three Olives Supercola vodka was based on the world's favorite soda. However, the vodka is not carbonated. Three Olives suggests the rather odd combination of making a mixed drink with one part cola vodka and one part of its signature cake-flavored vodka.
