Wasilla, Alaska — Move over fruit and vegetable flavored vodkas, and make room for a meatier taste.
The Alaska Distillery has just introduced its new Smoked Salmon Flavored Vodka.
It comes out about a year after a Seattle-based distillery, Black Rock Spirits, puts it bacon-infused vodka on the market.
Both vodkas have a smoky taste, and were intended to complement Bloody Marys. But mixologists and chefs are coming up with other carnivorous creations for the vodkas.
The Bakon Vodka will be available in 20 states within a month. The salmon-infused version can be found in Alaska, and a first shipment went out June 16 to Texas. The makers also hope to be on the shelves soon in California and Washington state.
