The new flavors are being debuted at two locations on Friday: The Holiday Inn Express in Stony Brook, New York and at Kennedy's Restaurant, in New York City. Along with the new drinks, the Holiday Inn Express will be serving complimentary vodka flavored waffles to all guests and patrons 21-years-old and over.
"We try to think of flavors that other vodkas don't have," Martin Silver, President of Star Industries, maker of Georgi Vodka, told Yahoo! News. "I took my sales team out for breakfast to think of new flavor ideas. I asked them what they wanted to eat and they said pancakes and waffles. And we pretty much decided right then to give the waffle flavors a try."
Georgi's is offering a number of waffles flavors, including banana waffle and chocolate chip. The flavors join a collection of unique flavors under their brand, including bubble gum, coconut, candy cane, popcorn, mango and French Vanilla.
"The federal government is very specific with what you put on your labels," Silver told Yahoo! regarding the French Vanilla flavor. "Even Grey Goose only has 'La Vanille.' We use a special bean that the government says you must use if you want to call it French Vanilla."
Waffles have existed for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Greece. And they came to America along with some of the earliest European settlers in the 1600's. Thomas Jefferson himself is credited with introducing the first waffle iron to Americans.
And over at Kennedy's, you will be able to enjoy your vodka-infused waffle with a special "waffle-tini" created by Georgi, which features a mini waffle garnish on the rim of the glass.
"More and more chefs cooking with spirits, they like to get creative," Silver said.
So, which of the new flavors is the biggest high with Silver's own company?
"Everybody likes the chocolate chip," he said.
