Vodka (Russian: wódka; Russian: водка; Ukrainian: горілка, horilka; Belarusian: гарэлка, harelka) is a kind of high-quality, clear, colorless alcoholic beverage, usually distilled from fermented grain. Many suspect that the word Vodka is derived from the Slavic word "voda" (woda, вода) meaning "water," despite many other opinions.
Except for a small amount of flavoring, vodka contains water and alcohol (ethanol). Vodka usually has an alcohol content of 35 to 60% of its contents. The classical Russian vodka contains 40% (80 ° pure content), the figure is formulated by the renowned Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev. According to the Vodka Museum in St. Petersburg. Petersburg, Russia, Mendeleev argues that the perfect content is 38%, but since alcoholic beverages at that time are taxed on the basis of their alcohol content, the percentage is raised to 40 to facilitate tax calculations.
Vodka is the basic ingredient of a number of popular drinks, including Bloody Mary, Bullshot, and Vodka Martini (also known as Vodkatini), a dry martini made with vodka instead of gin.
