Recipe Notes

Vodka is a very handy tool to take on your next trip into the backcountry.  In addition to use as a spirit you can use vodka to sanitize scrapes and wounds, repel insects, induce sleep, relieve tooth aches, clean skin pores, fight dandruff, and vodka helps cure cold sores. Transfer vodka to a plastic flask or lightweight container to cut down on bottle weight and bulk. Always drink and use alcoholic products responsibly!
