I used little bottles for vodka infusion. I found them to be a nuisance to procure, so I recycled the clear ones from the Aldi Wine Advent Calendar my wife got. I found some cool clear very tall 375 ml bottles also...but I had to store the filled ones in the carton because they fall over if you...

I saved some 750's & decided to not fill any because at 12+ % I would be waiting for someone to share one. That would be a sleeping pill for me...end of day! o_O
