As the world's most fashionable and versatile spirit, vodka is at the heart of any bar, served neat to sip and savour or as an essential ingredient in the coolest cocktails.
Ian Wisniewski reveals all you need to know about vodka. He explores vodka's traditional homelands and leading distilleries, explaining the differences between vodkas distilled using barley, wheat, corn, rye and potatoes. From classic Polish and Russian vodkas such as Wyborowa and Stolichnaya to flavoured vodkas - fruity Ketel One Citroen and herbaceous Zubrowka - there has never been such a wide range of vodka available.
Ian provides practical tips on how best to enjoy vodka, with recipes for classic vodka-based cocktails and ideas for some great foods to try with it, including Scandinavian-style crayfish and Russian blinis with soured cream and caviar.
Whether you prefer to sip or shoot, with this book at hand you'll soon become a connoisseur of this fascinating spirit.
