Vodka

Vodka is a clear, distilled spirit known for its neutrality and high potency, typically containing an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 37.5% to 40%. Traditionally crafted from fermented grains like rye or wheat, or even potatoes, it undergoes multiple distillations and charcoal filtration to remove impurities and create a crisp, clean finish. Because it lacks a dominant flavor or aroma, it is the most versatile base for cocktails, serving as the foundation for classics like the Moscow Mule, Bloody Mary, and White Russian. In the Philippines, popular brands range from affordable local options like Antonov to global premium names like Absolut and Grey Goose.
