What is a "slug" of vodka. I'm assuming it's not the unit of mass, as that is about 14.6 kg and would be a lot of vodka. Gentgeen 14:02, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

A slug is an imprecise measure of liquid volume (usually alcoholic). Splash some in the pan and it should make a 'slug/glug' sound as it comes out the bottle. You don't need much vodka in this recipe - a shot will do fine if you are in need of precision. That said, this is a recipe you cook by eye and with the aid of a surreptitious testing spoon. You don't need to worry about quantities.
