I prefer the Absolut myself, but drink either. The differences are subtle.
Chilled in the freezer it's good as a shot on a cold day, and also makes a
good Cajun martini or gibson. Not bad as a base for a bloody Mary either.
Both peppar vodkas taste pretty much as you would expect, straight vodka
flavored with hot peppers. They are spicier than I would have expected for
a mass market product, and would ignite the average non-chilihead if taken
straight. If you don't like straight vodka, then it is unlikely that you
would enjoy any of the flavored vodkas by themselves. With mixers, however,
many of the flavored vodkas are dangerously smooth. Vanilla vodka with 7-Up
(or was it gingerale?) tastes like a cream soda, for example.

Maybe the problem is the Absolute Peppar. I much prefer the "Stoli"
pepper-flavored vodka. Keep it in the freezer, and pour over well frozen ice
cubes. I predict you'll have a new respect for the concoction.

This sounds like it might be interesting, but...
Has anyone out there tried the Absolut Peppar (SP?) vodka? I haven't
been able to find a nice small sized bottle to sample. I did find a
small bottle (50ML) of the Mandarin. It may have just been me not being
accustomed to drinking this kind of stuff straight, but I thought it
tasted as I might imagine turpentine tasting. I enjoy a little mixed in
with juice, but straight was awful. I don't imagine the Peppar would
taste much better straight, but mixed with?????? Any reports?
Thanks,
