Well, here a simple and delicious recipe for those who like vodka.
You take

1. A 750ml bottle of good quality stuff. Hint - Smirnoff is not a good quality stuff, as vodka it totally stinks. We had better stuff in Russia bottled in s**tville (Bol'shiyeh Govnishschi in Russian). Absolute is good, Ketel One is excellent. You do not need excellent, good will suffice.
2. You put it in a decanter (strictly for looks - it will look very enticving).
You put in:
3. One or two cloves (decent size) of garlic and
4. One hot pepper, be it serrano, halapeno, or, if you like it hot, one scotch bonnet/habanero. You might want to pierce the pepper in case it refuses to sink.
5. Keep the decanter at room temp for a while, but before you go to sleep put it in the fridge.
Keep it there until the very moment of serving.

The bottle has to be finshed as the day after the subtle pleasant aroma and the hot kick will become overpowering stink and throat blistering agent at the same time. It is not a sipping beverage, it is a shot drunk at a gulp.
