Vodka Cocktail

About this episode

The episode explores vodka cocktails, their cultural origins, and historical context while promoting moderation in alcohol consumption.

Onwards we go. Third instalment of our cocktail series. Big hitting Vodka, or is it? Russian or Polish? Ukranian…or… err Scottish?!? As usual there are a few references to popular culture and some little nuggets of historical context from Joe. More gentle undercurrents that nod to bartenders past and present. We even try and push vodka cocktails as a potential one of your five a day, consumption of alcohol in moderation as always. Za zdorovye! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
