From Ukraine, with Tradition: Nemiroff Vodka Hits The States

Dick Bradsell was approached by a young lady in his London bar with one request: give her something that will "wake me up and [expletive] me up."

#100DaysOfCocktails - Day 15 - The Kangaroo

The final part of the Martini Trilogy. What, you may ask, is a Kangaroo? Other than a hopping marsupial in Australia, it is the original title of a Vodka Martini. And as #100DaysOfCocktails discovered, Martini can be used in the loosest sense.

#100DaysOfCocktails - Day 12 - Moscow Mule

The spiritual successor to the Buck, the Moscow Mule was less a bartender's creation than it was a marketing device for copper mugs, ginger beer, and vodka. #100DaysOfCocktails looks at the first vodka drink on the list.
