What Is Vodka?

Vodka is an alcoholic spirit drink, which is made in Russia, Eastern European countries, France and the Republic of Ireland.  It is clear looking liquid, almost without a smell but with a sharp taste to it. The word vodka is closely related to the word water in the Slavic languages, such as Russian and Polish.

Vodka can be made from fermented grains, potatoes or grapes to be officially vodka.  Vodka is essentially water and ethyl alcohol.

Some favourites are the dirt cheap but hangover cheap Stolichnaya or the French Grey Goose vodka, a very expensive but very tasty vodka.

Vodka is a very popular drink throughout the world, it's alcohol content is high, acting as a social lubricant and social anaesthetic at the same time.  It is often drunk in the West with a mixer, but often drunk without in the East.

In more recent years, flavoured vodkas have become more common and popular.
