Every adult knows what vodka is and what effect it has on the body. But not everyone knows that you can make a delicious cocktail from ordinary vodka by diluting it with another drink.
What is vodka?
Vodka is one of the strongest alcoholic drinks. A colorless liquid, practically odorless and tasteless, is an integral part of a feast in Russia. Vodka has long been considered a purely Russian drink. They jokingly say that she has become a symbol of Russia.
The strength of vodka is 40 degrees.
What is vodka made of?
Vodka is made from alcohol and water. Alcohol produced from grains at other factories is brought to vodka factories.
Next, the alcohol is mixed with water, bottled and labeled.
Currently, in the manufacture of vodka, manufacturers add various sweeteners, flavorings and much more. This allows not only to give a special taste to an alcoholic drink, but also to increase its cost.
How to determine the quality of vodka?
When purchasing a bottle of vodka, you should pay attention to the composition indicated on the label. It must indicate the water and the name of the pure alcohol. If there are many other components in the composition, then it is worth considering whether vodka is good or not. Usually, sweeteners, emulsifiers, and flavoring agents are added in order to hide the bad quality or taste unusual for vodka.
Vodka is an excellent defoamer, so high-quality vodka, after shaking the bottle, will destroy all bubbles that appear within one or two seconds.
The excise stamp must be present on the bottle with high-quality vodka. It should be glued evenly, without damage. The number printed on it must be clearly visible.
You should not buy too cheap vodka, because the price corresponds to the quality.
How to dilute vodka?
Vodka is a versatile alcoholic product, so it can be drunk both in pure form and mixed with other drinks. Moreover, both with non-alcoholic and alcoholic.
Before diluting alcohol with another alcoholic beverage, remember that not everything can be mixed with vodka.
If you do not want to spoil your fun, then you should not dilute vodka with drinks containing carbon dioxide (beer, champagne). Carbon dioxide promotes the rapid absorption of alcohol through the stomach wall. As a result of such an experiment, you will get a headache, feeling unwell and a terrible hangover in the morning.
Also, you should not dilute vodka with other strong drinks, because, having done this, the taste will be lost, the degree of the drink will increase, and as a result you will get unwell and a severe hangover.
Juices, on the other hand, are ideal for creating a vodka cocktail. The greatest preference is given to orange, tomato and cranberry juices. Also grapefruit and pomegranate juices go well with vodka.
Also, vodka can be diluted with plain water. This will help reduce the degree a little.
When using such cocktails, it should be remembered that intoxication in this case will come slowly and imperceptibly.
