Vodka (водка) is a traditional Russian alcoholic beverage. Vodka takes grains or potatoes as raw materials, distilled into alcohol with a degree as high as 95 degrees, and then diluted to 40-60 degrees with distilled water.

After being filtered by activated carbon, the liquor quality is more crystal clear, colorless and refreshing, which makes people feel neither sweet nor bitter, only stimulated by the flame, forming the unique characteristics of vodka. Therefore, vodka is the most flexible, adaptable and elastic wine among various base wines of cocktails.
