This weekend i am again planning to gettin hooked to vodka delights....it's now my 3rd consecutive weekend with this russian beauty..why i like her???it's a tough question.....She's clean, she smells like teen spirit and better of these..it's like kissin a gal frm eastern europe........We indians hardly understand the delights of vodka..in india Rum,Whisky or beer rules the crystal glasses but vodka is really catching up fast..in india also.
Vodka was exported to Sweden frm russia ,it was the 1st export of vodka from russia, way back in 14th or 15th century....sweden is also a huge fan of vodka( guess that's why i find strange similarities between viking gals and russian gals...they are beautiful)....and today whole of eastern europe and northern europe takes dips in vodka.It's made by fermenting mash of grains or vegetables....but i guess potatoes are the preffered vegetables.Rye and wheat are the finest grains for Vodka fermentation.Russian Vodkas are primarily made from wheat and polish are partial towards rye mash.Potatoes are looked after by russians and are manufactured in higly reputed distilleries.Unlike Whisky or Scotch the pots for Vodka are not wooden....when vodka leaves the pot..it's comes out in the form of fine,pure,colourless and spirited liquid with characteristic thin aroma......numerous spices,fruit juices are mixed to bring in colours and aroma...as well as some exotic tastes....Unfortunately in india it's hard to find a bottled spiced russian or polish or sweddish vodka.....Ofcourse we have Bars and Pubs to carry out cocktails but than also the bottled taste is different.....I personally like Okhotnichya type of vodka....In English speaking world it's known as Hunters....Besides the base ingrediant it has pinches of clove ,ginger, lemon peel, coffee and few herbs.....Goin by Brands i thinkAbsolut and Smirnoff are excellent ...followed by Seagram's Fuel and Shilpa Shetty endorsed Romanov....
But there are ways to make exciting delights rm these brands also.......although they don contain any spices or aromatics but still u can always add extras in ur crystal........one of the vodka cocktails i like most is "Bellini Martini".......it contains vodka with peach puree and splash champagne.....If ur at a beach house or a river boat...with ur girlfrnd and u want to have some classy ,quiet moments than go for this vodka delight.......believe me....Bellini Martini is classic drink and brings out love.....use champagne glass flutes....for her glass, u can add extra ice and garnish it with a slice of peach....
while in parties i prefer a touch n fly version of vodka classic "Blue Lagoon"........2 Oz of vodka(i prefer smirnoff)........add 1 oz blue curacao(now ..many of u don knw abt curacao...it's nt that popular in here....it's a kind of liquer made frm orange peels.....)....add ginger and lemonade.....shake it well and then take the sip..........It looks gd(Ocean blue in color)..It smells gd(very hard...alcohol and curacao)...and it tastes even better...so u see it;s delight for senses....That's why i love it...u can shake the floor all night long......
U can use vodka in most unexpected places.....In kitchen,with fruits and vegetable.........Cooking with liqour is nt a popular idea in india..but things are cathcing up nw..........many of u might have heard abt Vodka lemon chicken.........i love that dish.......it's easy to make .........and uses all kind of nutritious elements u can think of....lemon,olive oil,eggs,chicken,milk,vodkaaaaa....and indian spices....believe me ..it tastes wonderful............
i enjoy vodka in watever form i can.......but it's a liquor ...so there has to be some degree of carefulness.....don overdo it.......I guess staying in control and enjoyin is the ultimate thing......
