Wodka und Vodka sind zwei Übertragungen eines und desselben aus dem Russischen.
Den entsprechenden kyrillischen Buchstaben überträgt man nach Duden mit "W", nach den englischen Regeln mit "V". Gesprochen wird er wie "W", weshalb für den deutschsprachigen Menschen die offizielle deutsche Umsetzung auch sinnvoller ist. Aufgrund des großen Einflusses des Englischen trifft man aber selbst im deutschsprachigen Raum Vodka an.
Gleich verhält sich die Sache mit Wladiwostok und Vladivostok und vielen anderen Wörtern. Auch die Russen selber setzen ihre Schrift meist englisch in die lateinische um.

Oh yes – for all you "uninformed" among you: Vodka is a potato spirit and is actually (if properly distilled) tasteless and odorless! Nevertheless, there are subtle differences here and there.
It depends on the type of distillation process.
The inventors of SKY VODKA, for example, have made it their mission to filter out as many "fusel substances" as possible during their process.
As an explanation:
Fusible compounds are the little "devils" responsible for that splitting headache or truly awful hangover the next day. This is likely the origin of the colloquial term "cheap rotgut" for a poor-quality spirit.
A freezing temptation...
...for all herbal liqueur fans
Many people are familiar with the Ramazzotti with the typical lemon and ice cubes in the glass - here's something really good.
COOL Try it out!
Simply place the RAMAZZOTTI bottle and a few glasses in the freezer for a few hours. Don't worry, the bottle won't burst.
After some time, when the liqueur starts to thicken considerably and the bottle becomes really sticky on the outside...ICEt is, pour yourselves - into the likewise verICETen glasses – pour a drink. You'll surely be delighted!
Because Ramazzotti has never tasted so cool before...
And by the way - forget the lemons, you don't need them.
This sentence dates back to around 1700.
Back then, "funny" still meant: That makes you want to do something.
And "Sour makes you happy" meant: If you eat sour things, you get an appetite.
That's actually true: Sour and spicy foods like salad, pickled cucumbers and
Mushrooms stimulate the appetite.
What about sour cocktails? Or do you prefer sweet drinks?
Anything that's juice...!
Fruit juice, nectar or fruit juice drink -
What does it taste like?
And – are there any differences at all?
Finally, a few facts and figures.
In 2014, Germans drank 32.0 liters of juice and nectar made from fruits and vegetables per capita.
The most popular fruit juices in Germany are apple and orange juice, with average per capita consumption of 7.9 and 7.8 liters respectively (2014). Multivitamin juice (3.7 liters) and grape and pineapple juice (0.8 and 0.5 liters respectively) are also significant.
In 2014, the approximately 375 German fruit juice manufacturers processed about 900,000 tons of fruit and produced 3.7 billion liters of fruit juice, nectar and fruit juice drinks.

For better understanding, I use only the term "Juice".
For example, there is actually no passion fruit juice, only passion fruit nectar.

Ice
Cubes oder Crushed
- ice cubes have a firm, smooth texture, while Crushed ice It is grainy and powdery.
