I hope you enjoyed dinner. I know you barely tried my dad’s flavored Lithuanian vodka, but maybe you’ll like it in the privacy of your own home. Before you go, please take at least five bottles with you. It’s super versatile and has a ton of handy uses besides drinking it.

We enjoy it throughout the entire year, not just at the important holidays of Christmas and Easter. The cinnamon and pine make it a great choice for Christmas and the strange rabbit aftertaste goes well with any Easter meal. It’s actually good as a seasonal drink, too. There is a hint of dandelion flavor which complements spring and if you want to be reminded of autumn, just save some of the crunchy leaf-like sediment at the bottom of the bottle. And in the summer you’ll never get bitten by mosquitos.

There are so many more benefits than just its distinctive eye-watering taste. My mom loves using it in the kitchen as a marinade and it’s surprisingly effective at cleaning up grease. Believe it or not, my dad keeps a portable five-gallon tank of it in his trunk as a gasoline substitute and de-icer. And boy does it cut down on heating bills. If you’re ever chilly, all you need to do is pour some on a log and it will burn for at least five years. Sometimes you don’t even have to light it.
