Looking for pepper vodka

Does anyone know where I can find pepper vodka of the type that used to be made by Absolut (Peppar) or Stolichnaya (Pertsovka)? I recently bought some Ukranian honey pepper vodka but it was not very good, and the slightly-off honey taste was a major turn off. I live in CA and I have looked for this in all the obvious places (BevMo, TJs, local mom and pops, etc.)

Alternatively, has anyone tried making their own and if so, what recipe/technique did you use and how did it turn out?

    1. My BevMo didn't have any either, but my Mom and Pop (or more like Pop and Son) store did have Absolut Peppar. I live in Santee, CA - east San Diego county. You anywhere down this way? Keep looking for it, it is still out there. BevMo did have a chipolte vodka, it appears, but I haven't tried that yet. Best of luck!

        1. hi ed, just wondering about your cocktail party -- and what happened! http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/580640#post-box

          as to the red pepper vodka, i'm curious too as to good techniques. googling a few, this sounds promising: http://www.recipezaar.com/Tex-Mex-Pep...

              That looks like a good recipe, I'll try it. Also, I updated the old cocktail party thread, check it out and thanks for asking!

                      Glad you get the reference. Some people just think I was born in October of 1966.

                  • I like to use black pepper vodka for bloody Marys. Just put a couple of tablespoons of lightly-crushed good-quality black pepper in a bottle of vodka and let stand for a week or so, shaking occasionally. Strain out the solids (I use a cone-type coffee filter) and you're good to go.
