Vodka is a distilled alcoholic beverage composed primarily of water and ethanol, and occasionally contains small amounts of other substances. Vodka is typically regarded as a neutral spirit, characterized by its clear appearance and high alcohol content.
Vodka is believed to have its origins in Eastern Europe, particularly Russia and Poland, where it has been produced since at least the 8th or 9th century. Its name is derived from the Slavic word 'voda', meaning 'water', which reflects its clear color and the simplicity of its composition.
Vodka is described as having a clean, neutral taste, with a smooth mouthfeel, making it versatile for a wide range of cocktails or consumed neat or on the rocks.
