Okay so a bottle of vodka broke all over my beautiful leather in my backseat....and no it wasnt open or being consumed at the time but as soon as it broke I made a dash to try and salvage what i could by slurping it up in my mouth (pretty drunk 40min later 
)....and I tried some leather cleaner and even tried some surface carpet soap just to try and absorb the vodka....Its been a couple days and I cant seem to get rid of the smell of vodka (pomegranate vodka to be specific) from my leather. Anyone know of any great solutions? Products??? Techniques? Thanks guys

at least it's vodka and not beer...
slurping the liquid from the broken bottle it's actually really dangerous because tiny little pieces of glass are floating around and could end up stinging in your stomach or your esophagus.

Tuff stuff. it is a shampoo and vinyl cleaner. smells great, just get a good rag and just scrub it good. wont hurt the dye on the leather. it makes a great cleaner actually. just make sure you condition the leather with a ton of lexol after
