About the only way I can enjoy vodka is in a spicy bloody mary
or in
orange or grapefruit juice. Otherwise, it simply tastes like
rubbing
alcohol to me and I've never understood it's strong attraction
to so
many. I doubt that I'd have even bothered trying a vodka
sauce. It
certainly doesn't offer the much flavor (apart from the
alcohol taste)
like other liquors.
