Spud Vodka

If you see tall, thin, elegant bottles on the vodka shelf, it may be «Spud Vodka». They currently have 5 varieties:
Potato — good old straight up vodka
Heirloom Tomato
Pumpkin Spice
Ginger Lemongrass
Red Hot Chili Pepper
All Spud vodkas are potatoes based, so no gluten issues. Potato vodkas are considered by many to be smoother than their grain counterparts. We have tried the lemongrass and Chili Pepper. Both have a clear «bite» to them flavor wise, we like it, but if you want a «sweet» vodka (pear, some blueberries, donut, etc) these are not for you. These are before dinner vodkas, you can mix them and they have a bunch of recipes on their website, but we prefer them chilled straight up. Perfect for Happy Hour.
The non flavored is a terrific mixing vodka, but its an expensive mixer, so we don’t do that. You can get the same taste from a cheaper vodka once you add in the mixer.
These vodkas are made in Poland, distilled 5 times (but most are these days, right?), and sent over here for your bar.
4 stars for the creative flavors.
