1. Freshen up your air - Vodka leaves no odor as it dries, so mist it straight into your air as is, or add a few drops of your favorite essential oils until you're happy with the strength of the scent.
2. Lengthen a bouquet's life - Add one part vodka to 5 parts water to inhibit the growth of bacteria without any harmful effects to the plant.
3. Shine up your windows - Moisten a damp cloth with vodka and wipe your surfaces clean for a streak-free shine on windows, chrome, and other sparkly surfaces.
4. Make gourmet vanilla extract - Make your own vanilla extract by soaking raw vanilla beans in vodka. Add three vanilla beans, chopped, to one cup of vodka poured into an airtight container. Let that steep for at least four weeks.
5. Create your own rose perfume - Put a few inches of petals in a pot, and place a solid object like a brick on top of them. Pour water over the petals so that they're completely submerged. Next, place a small stainless-steel bowl inside the pot, on top of the brick. Cover everything with an inverted domed lid, and bring the water to a simmer. The rose petals release their oil into the water as it boils; it then condenses on the lid and falls into the bowl. Pour the water from the bowl into a small jar, and add a tablespoon of vodka to preserve it. The spray lasts for a few months.
6. Prepare cold packs - Fill plastic bags with vodka and place them in the freezer. Pull one out the next time you need a cold pack to ice a bruise or sore muscle. Because vodka doesn't freeze, the packs will mold around your body way better than that old bag of frozen peas you usually use.
