People can sometimes get stuck in a liquor rut. I for one, was in an awful vodka rut, picking up the same bottle when I ran out just because I liked it. Well, I like certain wines, but I don't drink them every night. Why should my vodka be any different?
I took a chance on a new vodka on the market, Sobieski from Poland. Cool bottle, slick red label, true Polish vodka distilled from traditional grains.
While doing my research, I was tempted to invent a fancy cocktail for this new vodka. However, the Polish traditionally drink vodka as a chilled shot and decided to follow suit for my first taste test.
Outstanding! Smooth and silky, no jet fuel breath, just clean, crisp and lovely.
Vodka shots don't make for a very long night, so I gave in to my inner mixologist. A splash of cranberry raspberry juice and club soda over ice and a healthy shot of Sobieski and I was a very happy camper.
The vodka mixed perfectly with the simple concoction, blending into the synchronous melody of flavors that was light and refreshing, with no hard edges or aftertaste.
Superb! I highly recommend giving the new kid on the block a chance.
Locally, pick it up at Centennial, Big Daddys or ask for it at your favorite liquor store.
