The vodka you typically drink is most likely made from fermented grains such as wheat or rye. However, there are some vodkas that are made from something a little different – potatoes. Chopin potato vodka is one such an example, a premium 4-times distilled liquor made in small batches in Poland.
Its said to have a creamy taste, with a hint of apple, and it pairs very well with champagne.
So, let’s make a cocktail with champagne and vodka made from potatos!
