On nearly every long-haul road trip of my life, I've made an essential pit-stop through the Arby's drive-thru for one thing: the fast food joint's top-notch Curly Fries. Now, my obsession with the crispy coiled potato strings is hardly a controversial one. In fact, the fan-favorite has earned Arby's a Fasties Award. But, the chain's latest spin on said fries? That might raise a few brows.
Arby's is entering the booze scene with the debut of two French fry-flavored vodkas, modeled after its famed Curly Fries and newly-released Crinkle-Cut Fries.
"Arby's recently added a Crinkle-cut option to accompany our iconic Curly Fries, providing another choice for fry-lovers," Arby's CMO Patrick Schwing said in a statement to Thrillist. "Though we've mastered the art of drive-thru fries, we wanted to take is one step further—by making them 80-proof. Being a potato-based liquor, this limited-edition vodka is infused with Crinkle and Curly fry flavor so Arby's fans can enjoy our menu from bag to bottle. And we've worked with Chef Justin Sutherland to create Arby's menu-inspired cocktails that pair perfectly with the new vodka flavor profiles."

Gotta do something with all those peelings................
crisp them up, melt some cheese.. lil sour cream and chives..
Somehow, I don’t see this gumming up the supply chain all that much.
I like it! How ‘bout some onion ring gin?!
sounds better to me :)
Went to the website to try to preorder. Fail!(
Looks like it will only be available in a few states in, “very limited quantities”. Destined to become a collectible!
That sounds like a plan!
Need the picture of David Putty from Seinfeld, saying “Feels like and Arby’s night.”
Reason #1,243,658 that the World Is Coming To An End.
Not available in my state.
That idea does not make the mouth water at all.
Sounds like a recipe for something with a very harsh, starchy flavor. A lingering aftertaste too, one hard to get rid of.
you should see what Asians put in their hootch ;)
It might make for an interesting martini…
Vodka was invented by the Polish and was originally created from potatoes. The Russians stole it, and it’s now made with grains, and some are still made with potatoes. Those are usually the better flavored/cleaner/less hangover-y vodkas.
For me, vinegar on fries, is okay sometimes.
Alcohol on fries? No thanks. Not even Potato based alcohol. To each his own.
