vodka

Vodka (водка, горілка, horilka wódka, vodka, vodka) is a distilled beverage and one of the world’s most popular liquors. It is composed primarily of water and ethanol with traces of impurities and flavorings. Vodka is made from the fermented substances like grain and potatoes.

Eric David Harris (April 9, 1981 – April 20, 1999) and Dylan Bennet Klebold (September 11, 1981 – April 20, 1999) were the high school seniors who committed the Columbine High School massacre. They killed 13 people and injured 21 others. Three people were also injured as they escaped the attack.

Silver Bullet

I picked up a bottle of Wolfschmidt Kummel because I didn’t know what it was.

Flavoured with caraway and (ever so slightly) of aniseed it turns out its made from a Danish recipe – although kummel itself was first created in Latvia in 1847.
Its quite intriguing because Its ever so sweet and syrupy but at 39% is more of a spirit than a liqueur. A digestif.

The label recommends making a Silver Bullet, mixing it 50/50 with vodka. I’m here to tell you that its quite acceptable. less sickly sweet than kummel alone, and with a bit more bite.

You get beautiful metallic swirly patterns when you mix the two which quickly merge. The photos don’t really do it justice. I thought a Silver Bullet was a kind of martini, using vodka as a base and whisky instead of vermouth. So maybe this should be called a Latvian Silver Bullet or something.

Another POM-inspired cocktail, this one much more simple than the last martini. Just few thin slices of lemon, over ice. A shot of vodka, a splash of lemonade and top with POM.

For a fun presentation, stir slightly after adding the lemonade and pour the POM down the side of the glass, it will nearly mix itself being likely heavier than the rest of the mix.
