Pretty succinctly describes the infusion craze.  If you were part of that hapless bunch of students last summer that heard me scream:

“ARE YOU OVER 21!!!  TRY THIS, IT’S VODKA AND PEPPERMINT AND BASIL!”  

“GRAPEFRUIT, GRAPEFRUIT IS AMAZING!!!”

Then I apologize, but Frank Bruni (yes the savage NYT restaurant critic and Top Chef repeat guest) tries his hand at infusions, with everything from garlic to atomic fireballs.

God we need to start playing with infusions again.  That Grapefruit vodka was a hit.
