The crystal clear and highly in-demand spirit, vodka still remains a mystery to most people. On the surface, it is just a distilled spirit that is made from ethanol and water. Vodka gets distilled, fermented, and filtered, and it can be crafted from almost anything that’s able to completely go through the process and turn into alcohol. So, vodka can include potatoes, corn, fruits, sugar, grapes, grains, and roots. But that’s just the beginning of all the interesting things that you need to know about vodka. And, as you sip on the finest cocktails in Edmonton, read on more about vodkas.

So, what exactly is vodka?

The term ‘vodka’ is derived from the Russian term ‘voda,’ which means water. As mentioned before, vodka gets distilled from a number of grains, and at times, includes sugar, grapes, and potatoes. It also has varied textures, and this spirit is typically odorless and tasteless but contains different textures when it comes to mouth feel. Vodka is truly a versatile spirit that has multiple uses, and that’s one of the reasons behind its popularity.

The history of vodka

Vodka has been here since the middle ages, and in all these times, the spirit has forged itself in the cultural identities of places like Poland and Russia. Given how popular vodka is, there isn’t much of an official historical evidence available to know about its genesis. However, it is widely known that there was a point in time when vodka was even used as medicine. In all these years, vodka has come a long way from its initial beginnings. You can now get vodka in amazing flavors like lemon, maple, sour cherry, lemoncello, and honey.

Is vodka the perfect drink for summers?

To be perfectly honest, the ones who love vodka don’t care about seasons before sipping their favorite spirit. However, there is a general belief that vodka is more suited to summers than any other season. The reason behind this is that vodka, by and large, is known for its refreshing nature, versatility, and levity. So, in more ways than one, it is the perfect accompaniment for the summer.

Additionally, vodka is crisp and light which makes it refreshing during those long and warm days of summer. But, as mentioned before, there is no season to enjoy your favorite drink. If a glass of maple vodka makes you happy during the winters, go ahead and pour it for yourself or head to your nearest cocktail bar.
