    Vodka

    Dear Vodka,

    We had a deal last night. You were supposed to make me funnier, smarter and a better dancer. I saw the video, we need to talk!

    Whether you drink it neat, chilled, or with a mixer, most people have felt this way at least once in their life. Due to its lack of odor, color, and taste, Vodka is one of the best liquors to add to a variety of mixers. It is considered one of the most popular spirits in the United States, and is a vital key to a well-stocked bar. With a bottle of Vodka, a few additional ingredients, and some creativity you can make an assortment of cocktails for everyone to enjoy.

    Fun Facts and History:

    Originating in Eastern Europe, the word Vodka translates to water in most Slavic languages. Pronounced in Russian as 'voda' or, as the Poles would say 'woda', it translates affectionately as dear little water.

    Russians and Poles argue who was the first to distill and produce Vodka. However, most historians give Russia the credit. But no matter who was the first to make Vodka, the early manufacturing methods were unsophisticated and contained impurities. To mask these contaminants, distillers added fruits, spices, and herbs to the Vodka so it could be consumed. It wasn’t until distillation was improved with charcoal in the 18 th century that Vodka was expected to be colorless, tasteless and odorless.

    Vodka didn’t take off in the United States until 1946 when the owner of the Cock 'n' Bull restaurant in Los Angeles mixed Smirnoff Vodka with some Ginger Beer he had in stock and the Moscow Mule was born.

    In 1962 agent 007 ordered his Vodka Martini shaken not stirred and instantly Vodka was to be the number one spirit for the next 50 years.

    In 1986 Absolut Vodka pioneered the distilled flavored vodka revolution by introducing Absolut Peppar to the United States for the ever so popular Bloody Mary. They followed this success with Citron (1988), Kurant (1992), Mandarin (1999), Vanilla (2003), Raspberri (2004), and Peach (2005). There are now over 40 flavors of vodkas on the market today. We now flavor them for variety rather than to hide the impurities they once had.

    A Toast:

    To Friendship…There are good ships, and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea. But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be!
