I helped some random drunk girl get onto the train & home last night and she promptly vomited all over me lol. I got the vomit off most of my clothes and washed it off my jacket, but the smell persists on the leather.
Do I have options besides dry cleaning?

Baking soda will help absorb the odor. Don’t rub it off though; it’s abrasive! Lightly brush and/or vacuum it off. Follow up with conditioner as it can dry it out a bit and you’ll need to replace some of the oil lost. Test in a non conspicuous area to ensure it won’t strip any dyes or finishes, too.
I take it there will be no second date..(?)
Have a piss on it and then liberally sprinkle with some dodgy cheap foreign beer from the local corner shop.
Leave to dry for a couple of days in a cold damp room.
Nobody will be any the wiser 👍
Diluted alcohol in a spray bottle.
You may want to oil the leather after the smell finally comes out too.
Pee on it
Time for the jacket to go..
Clean the leather well, then polish and wax it to keep the stank in
