What is Vodka?

Vodka is a distilled spirit, meaning it’s made through a distillation process.It can be distilled through a variety of food products like corn, rye, wheat, molasses, and potatoes. Once the distillation process is complete, the vodka is then filtered (often three times over) and sometimes flavoured.

When Vodka is served in tumbler glasses, drink it as a long drink. A glass should last between 10 and 20 minutes. Do not drink it in a single sip. You can add ice. Hold the glass only to bring it to your mouth. Do not hold the glass longer to avoid warming the Vodka or the cocktail with your hand.

Know the general storage rules

Room temperature is fine, while slightly cooler (like a cellar) could be more optimal. Avoid direct sunlight as this will speed evaporation and reduce shelf life.

  1. 1

    Once a bottle is opened, keep it upright in a cool, dark place. But we recommend Vodka in the fridge to keep it beautifully refrigerated, ready to mix, and perfectly preserved.

  2. 2

    Always cover your vodka bottle with its original cap and don’t risk losing it with another one, as the ridges are not the same,

  3. 3

    Tighten the cap as fast as you can so as to prevent air from going into the bottle while you store it.
