Note: Do not worry if you have to start over several times. The finished product is worth the trouble. I had to stop again and again to mop up my mess to avoid falling. Do NOT burn yourself, as I did twice (sob). Nappy New Hear, Sparkers!!

Caution: DO NOT DRIVE to the store for more vodka! You can use sipping whiskey, or everclear, or whatever's on hand.
