Here's How To Act Like A Connoisseur When Drinking Straight Vodka
BY MOLLY HARRIS
True vodka connoisseurs know that savoring vodka involves a refined approach that allows you to appreciate its nuanced flavors and aromas, which starts with a slow sip.
Sipping allows the vodka to gradually reveal its subtle notes and complexities. Let the vodka linger on your palate, allowing the flavors to fully develop before swallowing.
Adding ice or water can mellow the intensity of straight vodka and provide a smoother experience. The cold temperatures can even enhance certain flavors while diluting others.
Vodka has a diverse aroma profile influenced by ingredients like grain, citrus, herbs, or florals. Exploring different brands is key when it comes to discovering unique flavors.
