Drinks are always a good choice, especially at parties and meetings. They are options for those who like alcoholic beverages, but prefer to drink them with an extra flavor, without necessarily taking pure doses.
One of the most commonly used types for making drinks is vodka. She, who is very popular in Russia, is originally from Eastern Europe and her real birthplace is unknown.

If consumed pure, you feel the thud: its alcohol content ranges between 35% and 60%, depending on the brand. But when diluted in drinks you don't even notice.
