Working in hospitality, Im a chef, I work with people in the bar helping with designs of drinks. What goes with what, sort of thing.
I find vanilla beans always work well with infusions. Generally 4 weeks is enough. Cacao beans to give a slightly chocolatey taste works well too. If you infuse vodka with cinnamon sticks and then put a shot of that with some good quality apple juice, it almost tastes like apple pie. Another is lime zest thou ensure all the white pith is gone otherwise it will go bitter.
Bison grass vodka is interesting. It have seen it in both australia and the united kingdom.
Good drinking!
