Cilantro Vodka Is Here To Enjoy — At Least For Those Who Can't Taste The Soap

Confession time! I am a member of the estimated 14% of people who are incapable of enjoying the popular herb called cilantro. It tastes like a mouthful of dish soap and ruins any dish it touches.

Frankly, it makes enjoying entire national cuisines, like Mexican or Vietnamese, difficult for me. I really want to like them, but it's a minefield of leafy greens.

So needless to say, this Cilantro and Lime flavored vodka is not in my wheelhouse.

My stomach churned a little bit at the very thought.

According to the Absolut product page, this is what it's supposed to taste like:

"The distinctively aromatic cilantro combines with playful notes of ripe, juicy limes, and finishes with a subtle hint of herbaceous spice."

Doesn't that sound nice? I really wish I wasn't doomed to be left out of it.

Of course, if you're the DIY type, you could also infuse your own vodka.

Just stuff a bunch of fresh cilantro into plain vodka, wait a couple of days, and voila! Soapy booze!

J/K. If you have the ability to taste what people have told me is the "bright, peppery, citrus flavor" the plant is supposed to have, enjoy!

I hear this stuff's good in a Bloody Mary.
