Vodka

The calorie value of vodka is based on its alcohol content. The higher the percentage, the more calories you consume. Since it is a distillate, the popular watery drink has no nutrients and consists mainly of alcohol and water.

Calorie values per 100 millilitres of vodka:

Example: A 40-milliliter shot glass filled with 37.5 percent vodka has 12 grams of alcohol and 85 calories.

Vodka and Korn differ, among other things, in the distillation of the vodka, which causes a neutralization of the taste. Korn is also subject to the German purity law and is made exclusively from grains grown in Germany, such as wheat, rye, barley, buckwheat or oats.
Vodka uses potatoes, grain or molasses (sugar syrup) as the most common raw materials, but can also be made from other substances of agricultural origin.

Any vodka is suitable for the preparation of cocktails. You can save money by avoiding expensive products, as the neutral taste of the spirit will fade into the background when mixed. It's better to avoid very cheap vodkas made from molasses, as they often contain bad flavors and can have fusel alcohols that give you a headache.
Even if the taste isn't dominant, adding a shot of vodka will give your cocktail a certain aroma and enhance other alcoholic additions.

Popular mixes with vodka are vodka orange and vodka lemon - vodka, mixed with orange juice (freshly pressed with a juice presser) or bitter lemon. It can also be mixed with cola. Famous cocktails including vodka are Bloody Mary (vodka mixed with tomato juice, among other things), Cosmopolitan (vodka mixed with triple sec liqueur and juices) and Mojito (vodka mixed with sugar syrup and mint leaves).

Mixing vodka with energy drinks leads to a double burden on the body. Therefore, experts advise against mixing the two stimulants.
Energy drinks can cause cardiovascular problems, seizures, and kidney failure if overconsumption occurs. This risk is especially high in people who have a history of similar symptoms.
When combined with alcohol, there is a risk of further physical harm. For one thing, the alcohol-energy blends mask the effects of the alcohol, so that although you feel fit and sober, in reality you are not. Furthermore, there is a risk of cardiac arrhythmia, high blood pressure and dehydration, i.e. dehydration of the body.

Black vodka is a blend of the typical transparent vodka with an additional ingredient. Dark colorants and often flavors of black currant or other fruits are used for this purpose.
A black vodka is therefore not pure vodka, but a mixed spirit, which is called a liqueur by some manufacturers. This also results in the lower alcohol content compared to unblended vodka. An example of black vodka is Pushkin Black Sun.
Pay close attention to the description before buying a black vodka. Just because a bottle is black does not mean it is a black vodka. For example, Absolut Vodka 100 and Three Sixty Black Vodka present themselves in a black bottle, but are pure vodka with increased alcohol content.
Black vodka is best enjoyed as cold as possible, either mixed with a juice, soft drink or straight. So it's best to put it in the fridge or even freezer before consuming.
