Vodka
Vodka has its roots in Eastern Europe, particularly in countries such as Poland and Russia. Over time, it has become an integral part of the culture in these regions and remains a staple spirit today.
This versatile spirit is commonly enjoyed in a variety of ways. Vodka is a popular choice for cocktails, including classics such as Martinis and Moscow Mules. In countries referred to as the "vodka belt," vodka is also served neat or chilled.
Typically, vodka is bottled at around 40% alcohol by volume (ABV), or 80 proof. The spirit is available in numerous brands and flavoured varieties, catering to diverse tastes and preferences.
Most vodka is naturally gluten-free after the distillation process, even if it is originally made from grains. This makes it suitable for those who are sensitive to gluten.
