I know not many people liked it, but if you puree the squash after roasting( I used butternut and let it marinate in the fridge for a week, it is delicious. Also, as someone else suggested a combo of this either 2 to 3ounces of the infusion and a 1/2 ounce of Amaretto served as an aperitif on cracked ice. Indeed very nice! But by itself the infusion resembles an Irish cordial, Potcheen. Do't be afraid! It will clear your sinuses!

I read the other reviews and KNEW I was taking a chance in making this. The other reviewers were right....a waste of money and time. I followed the recipe exactly, but the finished product has very little flavor. It's like vodka with a slight ginger/cinnamon/vanilla flavor and a VERY subtle pumpkin flavor in the background. I'm an ex-bartender, so I can usually find a use for any ingredient. Since the vodka by itself is so boring, I'm going to put it in hot apple cider for fall get-togethers. But I definitely won't be making this again.

I raise sugar pumpkins in Massachusetts and based on recipe I thought it was worth a try. I wish I had read the third review, I would not have sacrificed my precious gourds for this type of folly.
Vodka is pretty much perfect as is, so why try to make a vegetable soup out of it? Distilled spirits and vegetables is a strange food group, indeed! PePe-le-Pew! I am rating it one star and that is a gift!

I am not a vodka girl, pretty much just wine and occasional akavit, but this intrigued me. I find this to be a light and interesting aperitif.

I love vodka and am planning on making this in the next couple of days. I already bought the ingredients and i must say the vanilla is really expensive. I will post more after its done.

This was putrid to put it kindly. I'm a vodka girl. I love vodka in all kinds of cocktails, I like it straight up in a martini - this was horrible. I tried... I really tried... but ultimately, I poured a $20 bottle of Absolute down the sink. We won't discuss the $17 worth of vanilla bean. I may never eat pumpkin or any kind of squash again. This was the most horrible stuff. Usually I like Claire's recipes - this was the first "cocktail" of hers that I've tried. I need to be excused now - I need to get the stench out of my garbage disposal. I was forced to give this a rating. I tried to give it NO stars, but the system wouldn't let me.
