From the Land of Palin comes this:
Make mine a meat-flavored vodka, please - Jun 2010
WASILLA, Alaska ? Prepare your palate for carnivorous cocktails.
The Alaska Distillery in Wasilla just recently launched its Smoked Salmon Flavored Vodka, about a year after the Seattle-based Black Rock Spirits introduced a bacon-flavored vodka. "I think there was some madness and some drunkenness involved, honestly," said Toby Foster, an Alaska Distillery partner and the one charged with coming up with new flavors with Alaska themes. Once the fish is smoked, the skin is removed and employees masticate the fillets. The chunks are placed into a large vat, where highly concentrated ethanol is mixed in. From that stew is pulled the flavor, rich color and essence of the salmon.
Foster and Scotti MacDonald, another partner, said the current formula took 48 tries, and some of the first 47 attempts were downright disgusting. "Definitely the first few times
we had our heave bucket close by," MacDonald said. "It was pretty bad, and you know, greasy."

Not even in the wildest of my drinking days would I have considered fish flavored vodka.
