Vodka Soda

Vodka Soda is very easy to drink, built around clean, refreshing and dry. The mouthfeel is lean, light body, and the overall impression is light in strength. The finish makes more sense for slow tasting than for drinking quickly. Its finish keeps the vodka base in view, even when the opening flavours feel more immediate. For context, its listed food matches begin with Sushi and Salads, and its related-drink path leads to Ice Pick.
