Vodka originated in Russia and Poland and is spelled differently in various languages. Chemically, it is composed of water and ethanol. Vodka is distilled alcohol that is nearly tasteless and odorless. The commercialization of vodka in the Western world is linked to the Stolichnaya brand, which became popular after World War II when it was marketed as "white whiskey" with "no taste or smell." Vodka is produced through fermenting grains or potatoes into alcohol, then distilling and filtering the liquid to remove impurities before bottling. Popular cocktails made with vodka include the Bloody Mary, Cosmopolitan, and Screwdriver.

Broth
preparation
• Converting the grains into flour, water is added and the mixture is made under pressure.
During operation, the starch in the grains is converted into a mass of gel and then sugar
which, under the effect of the yeast, is transformed into alcohol during fermentation.
Fermentation takes about 40 hours.
Distillation
• takes place in a continuous distillation system or system "pot still" in stills isolated (or a
combination thereof) having from 2 to 5 stills; stills height (stainless steel parts of copper) is
20-40 meters in the case of large industrial productions. The common vodkas are distilled
twice, or three at most (eg Smirnoff). On the upper level of the market are a distillation
vodka 4 to 8 times.
Filtration
• vodka is then subjected to a filtering process, which aims to remove any impurities
that may persist in the liquid. Filtration varies from one distillery to another, but
the most common method is the use of organic carbon filters, usually birch or
apple wood.
Dissolution
• the final drink before the mixture contains 96% alcohol and is almost
devoid of taste and smell other than its own ethanol.
