10 Facts about Vodka you didn’t know (With Pictures)

6. Vodka Has Two Classifications

Vodka comes in two forms, clear and flavored. Flavored vodkas began to emerge to mask the original flavor or clear vodka. It can sometimes be very intense and strong and with a flavoring added, that bitter taste is cut. Clear vodka allows for the drinker to really taste all the ingredients of what went into making the drink. Most vodkas are made differently, so there is no way to classify them all, but all vodkas are generally clear or flavored. Almost every type of ingredient has been used in different brands producing different tastes. Kubanskaya vodka uses dried lemon and orange peels. Okhotnichya vodka includes a mix of ginger, cloves, coffee, anise, lemon peel and is blended with sugar and wine. Animals also play a role in the production of vodka like Zubrovka vodka that uses bison grass as the main ingredient. The grass is favored by the herds of rare European bison.
