Versatility both on its own and in cocktails
Vodka is one of the most consumed alcoholic beverages in the world. It is appreciated for its purity, versatility and ease of integration into different cultures and traditions.
It stands out for its lack of distinctive color, aroma and flavor, which makes it a very versatile drink both to be consumed on its own and to be mixed in cocktails (such as Bloody Mary, Cosmopolitan, Moscow Mule, among others).
The choice of raw material (wheat, rye, potato, etc.) and the production method can subtly influence the final profile of the vodka, although its main characteristic is purity and neutrality.
In the countries of the “vodka belt” (Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Finland, etc.), it is usually drunk neat and chilled, while elsewhere it is commonly mixed with juices, soft drinks or used as a cocktail base.
Varieties:
Flavored vodkas: fruit, herb or spice essences are added.
Premium Vodkas: distinguished by more rigorous distillation and filtering processes.
Alcohol content:
Standard vodka has between 37.5% and 40% alcohol, although there are versions that can reach up to 50% or even more, in exceptional cases.
