It does sound good. Please make sure you still have some of this when the Banquet rolls around in February. We're planning on coming up.

(Vodka has no flavor, but you can still taste the difference between a good and a bad vodka. The good vodka is smooth; the bad vodka rasps your throat all the way down.)
See, this is one of those things that makes me wonder about people's taste buds. Because vodka does so have a taste. It tastes like glue. You know, the chunky stuff that kids eat in grade school. As far as I've been able to tell -- what with the whole allergy thing making its appearance about the time I could actually legally be interested in drinking -- good vodka tastes like mild glue, intermediate quality vodka tastes like glue with a bit of an edge, and bad vodka tastes like glue that somehow manages to also scrape your tongue and throat going down. Which, for a liquid, is an impressive feat!
But yes. Glue. Definitely. The idea of glue with hot peppers is kind of revolting, actually.
(I also never understood why anyone said that Everclear was flavorless. YMMV and all that.)

If vodka now tastes like glue to me, and you have forever ruined my taste in vodka martinis (arrived at late in life, after previously only indulged gin ones) much like guppy ruined Coronas for me this past summer by saying they tasted like dirt, I will hunt you down and make you pay.

It would make me very happy were someone to devise a drink called the Trotsky which, to complete the joke, should involve vodka (obviously), something Mexican (tequila? margarita variation?), and the use of an ice pick.
