I recently recieved a bottle of Russian vodka…what do I do with it? Do I drink it straight with ice? I know screwdrivers use vodka, but what other things can be done with it…I’m more of a beer and red wine person. THis is what I got, but I don’t know if it is premium (?) or special premium (?) what’s the diff?
Here’s a list of vodka cocktails to give you ideas. I’m no expert, but I enjoy the occasional vodka cocktail. OJ and Coke tend to go well with it, but as you can see from the list, there’s quite a range of possibilities.
If you sent it to me, I would put the bottle in my freezer. I would then periodically pour out a small (or large) amount and drink it. If you are ever in the area. . .
Another idea, one that I’ve tried myself. Get a number of different high-end vodkas. Put them all in the freezer. Invite friends over for a vodka tasting. (For me, Belvedere wins every time)
Except… in college I liked screwdrivers, which is vodka with orange juice. I know vodka purists turn up their noses at this, but try it and see what you think.
I’m unfamiliar with the brand, but chill it and take a little taste. Might burn a little, but shouldn’t remind you of how rubbing alcohol smells. If it does, go ahead and mix it.
If you feel it isn’t preemo stuff you really should drink straight, then you could have fun and infuse it with something.
I am Russian and I want to disagree with almost everybody in this thread. Take a little taste – if it’s kind of nasty, put it in the freezer. If it’s really nasty, mix it with something.
If it’s good vodka, for of love of Og, don’t freeze it! That kills the taste. You want a nice frozen glass yet nicely room temperature Vodka.
