The Vodka Guide
Candra > Spirits Guide > Vodka guide
A clear and delicate spirit traditionally made from fermented and distilled grain or potato. Don’t be fooled by its bravado, vodka has a long and storied history. It’s traditionally sipped neat and chilled alongside food. This way you can truly appreciate the flavour and character of a vodka. Yes, delicate as it may be, vodka does have flavour and texture, and just like every other spirit, some are better than others.
Of course, some of our vodka selections will have been paraded with sparklers through clubs around the world. Yet their social status, bottle height, design and artwork plays no part in making it onto our list. We’re all about the liquid inside the bottle, and that’s it!
It’s hard to argue that vodka’s not the most versatile spirit base for cocktails. It’s also true to say that the cocktail world we enjoy today would likely not be as advanced without the years of investment into the cocktail revolution by vodka brands through the 90s and 2000s. So all-in-all give vodka some love!
Whether it’s for neat sipping or cocktail mixing, you can’t go wrong with any of our Vodka choices.
Na zdrowie!
