What a little bit of leather will do

At right, the remaining bottle of tequila, showing the original color. At left, the "infused" tequila (leather strips used, in the foreground) after less than 24 hours' steeping! Noticeable difference in flavor, too: infused version tastes, well, like you're drinking hooch that's spent time in a saddle bag (which I don't mean in a bad way).
