Vodka is an original Russian drink and can rightly be considered a part of Russian culture. Without this colorless liquor, there is not a single serious feast, be it a wedding, an anniversary or a corporate party. Vodka is a strong drink, and it is considered to be a masculine one, because the content of refined ethyl alcohol here is, as a rule, 40%. But not so long ago there were so-called ladies' vodka variants made using softer water and minor berry or fruit additives that give the drink a subtle sweetish smell and smack.
Elite alcohol
Despite the fact that most consumers consider vodka a popular drink, some of its brands at their cost can compete with collection wine or cognac and other elite alcoholic beverages. But we can be proud of the fact that the most expensive vodka in the world is made in Russia. In addition, the list of 10 elite vodka includes several domestic representatives. So, in our article elite and fabulously expensive brands of this strong drink are presented. From our article you will learn about what kind of vodka is the most expensive, about the subtleties of its production, packaging and other nuances. And also get information about who is the lucky one who bought a high-quality drink, which has no analogues in the world.
Who produces the most expensive alcoholic beverage?
The most expensive vodka in the world is made by the company "Russo-Baltic", which, by the way, specialized in the production of cars. The heyday of the company came in the 20s of the last century. And even now the plant produces rocket and space technology, and the cars have not gone off the assembly line for several decades, the name of the company "Russo-Baltic" is associated with the car industry anyway. The above-named vodka is made of high quality raw materials, it includes natural ingredients and alcohol of excellent quality. It went through several stages of purification, which undoubtedly characterizes it as the highest quality product.
Why the price is unreasonable
Elite alcoholic beverages are usually packed in exclusive bottles, the price of which is a large part of the cost of production. And the most expensive vodka in the world is not an exception. Russo-Baltique vodka is produced in a bullet-proof bottle, the thickness of the walls is 30 centimeters, respectively, the weight of the container is also quite large. The special strength of the package protects it from accidental falling. The exclusive bottle is closed with a special stopper, made of white and yellow gold. Anyone who decides to buy such vodka, will receive a prestigious SUV as a gift. The car is armored, and its wheels are made of pure gold. The cost of one bottle of Russo-Baltique vodka is 1 million 400 thousand dollars. As you know, vodka is a part of many cocktails. It would be interesting to know how much the cocktail will cost if the most expensive vodka in the world is added to it.
Cocktail of the most expensive vodka and a person who can try it
Let's take as an example the cocktail "Bloody Mary". It includes:
- 45 ml of vodka;
- 240 ml of tomato juice;
- Salt, black ground pepper;
- 4 ml of Worcester sauce;
- A little juice of lemon or lime.
The highlight of the drink lies in its preparation. The bottom line is that initially tomato juice is poured into the glass (or glass), followed by pepper and salt, then all this is mixed. Add lemon juice and sauce. A pinch of salt and pepper is poured over the juice, so an intermediate layer is formed between the vodka and the juice. Then the expensive vodka is added to the glass (we agreed that we are making a cocktail based on Russo-Baltique), pour it in better on the blade of the knife. So, if you take as a basis the cost of half a liter of a strong drink - 1 million 400 thousand dollars, then you can calculate how much it will cost 45 ml. The most expensive vodka. By simple calculations we get the result - in 126 thousand dollars will cost a portion of the cocktail "Bloody Mary" based on Russo-Baltique. You can understand that vodka, the most expensive and exclusive, is not made for everyday feasts, and it can afford only the richest people in the world - oligarchs, oil magnates or rulers of states. The first owner of an exclusive bottle of vodka Russo-Baltique was a prince from Monaco. Well, it is not forbidden to live beautifully, such a drink can be a good investment of means (with the subsequent sale of it at an auction in a certain number of years) or become an exquisite gift to a significant person. After all, the most expensive vodka made from ever produced is hardly bought in order to simply drink it, however paradoxical it may sound.
