In Summertime, the Grillin' is EasyEdited by Madelyn Miller, the travelladyWow your guests with great grilled dishes as simple to throw together as flip-flops and a Hawaiian shirt. Van Gogh Vodka's Chillin' & Grillin' recipes are exotic and easy. "Vodka marinades add flavor and tenderize meats and fish," says David Van de Velde, president of Luctor International, makers of Van Gogh Vodka. "Because vodka has potent tenderizing power, you don't need to marinate long. Often as little as 30 minutes will do. Flavored vodkas sweeten the tenderizing process in subtle and pleasant ways. You can go directly from the refrigerator to the grill, quickly and easily." Van Gogh Vodka features 15 all-natural flavors, each low in sugar and carbs. For his own backyard barbecues, Van de Velde lists among his favorite flavors: Oranje Coconut, Pineapple, Wild Appel, Raspberry, Citrus, Melon, Mango and Black Cherry. Many of the flavors complement each other, yielding a bounty of delicious dishes. So fire up the grill, and enjoy your guests. For entrees that are juicy, tender and tasty, let vodka do the work. Crowd PleaserRemember, marinating with vodka involves cooking with flair, but best not to overdo. Cocktail creations require attention at the grill. A second or so after the marinated food hits the grill, the alcohol will combust. It's a showstopper for guests. To keep the entertainment light, let the marinated food drain for a few minutes before putting it on the grill. That way, you'll keep a handle on flare-ups. Speaking of handles, a pair of tongs with long ones will enable you to keep a distance. When cooking with vodka, the grill time is typically brief. So hang around and enjoy the show with these Chillin' & Grillin' favorites from Van Gogh Vodka. Cheers!
