ABSOLUT GUIDE TO VODKA

Vodka has been a popular spirit for centuries – it’s one of the most iconic options on the shelf. Its popularity has inspired a range of variations and a wide range of cocktails – from Vodka Martinis, shaken-not-stirred, to Espresso Martinis, Cosmos and more. It’s also made an appearance in delectable food dishes like Penne alla Vodka or the classic vodka sauce. 

What is vodka?

Vodka is a distilled alcoholic spirit that’s made through the fermentation of ingredients like potatoes, grains, fruit or sugar beets. After fermentation, the liquid goes through distillation, which transforms these basic ingredients into a pure, refined spirit. Vodka is renowned for its versatile, neutral profile, which makes it perfect for mixing and blending with other flavours. A classic spirit since the 15th century in Poland, through to 18th century Russia, to 20th century worldwide – the spirit remains a staple for bartenders across the globe.
