Food & Wine reported on this exciting French Fry news. Here is an excerpt. Read the complete article here.

Earlier this year, the meats-centric sandwich chain expanded its French fry options by adding crinkle-cut fries alongside their usual curly fries. Now, to hammer home their two fry options, Arby's will be releasing two limited-edition vodkas: Arby's Curly Fry Vodka and Arby's Crinkle Fry Vodka.

The Curly Fry Vodka is billed as "a tribute to the mastery of crisp, spiced, curled potato," distilled with cayenne, paprika, onion, and garlic for a spirit that "preserves the distinctive and authentic tasting notes of the traditional Arby's Curly Fry. " Meanwhile, the Crinkle Fry Vodka is made with kosher salt and sugar to honor "the rich tradition of salted potato shapes."

On first blush, the whole thing may feel like an insane stunt, but Arby's points out that, like many vodkas, these products — which are distilled and bottled by Tattersall Distilling in Minneapolis — are made from potatoes… just like French fries. And as for these vodkas' perfect cocktails, Arby's suggests a Bloody Mary, which frankly, yes, a French fry Bloody Mary sounds incredible.—-Mike Pomranz, Food & Wine
