Vodka has long since been a staple product of the liquor industry and while some other spirits experience peaks in popularity, vodka is forever. There is a growing argument between the Russians and Poles as to who invented the people’s favorite tipple, but historians agree that it originated somewhere around 1,400 AD in Northeastern Europe. Fast forward a few centuries and the popularity of vodka (derived from voda which means ‘water’) has spread around the globe.
With new distillation techniques brought from western Europe, the Slavic vodka makers were able to refine the alcoholic drink that would go on to become a trademark of their countries. Later on, the spirit arrived in America with humble beginnings, and it wasn’t until it was aggressively marketed as a versatile cocktail base that it started to become more popular.
