Vodka, a traditional Russian spirit, is celebrated for its neutrality and versatility in production, with bases ranging from wheat to unusual ingredients like apples and quinoa. The best vodkas are produced in countries with a deep-rooted history in distilling the spirit. Cultural conventions dictate that vodka consumption is a communal activity, often accompanied by food and ritual toasting. Kachka's Isreal Zakuski emphasizes that vodka needs social interaction, making it a celebratory drink.
"Vodka needs a friend. For it to be done right, it should include food and people around the table. It's a social activity, with lots of toasting."
"The elegant texture matches the elegant bottle with the well-named Jewel of Russia Ultra Black, which has a certain amount of minerality on the finish."
