What is Finlandia Vodka?
Produced by the company that is considered to be the sixth leading producer of vodka in the world, Finlandia vodka is a premium vodka brand. You can probably easily determine that it is produced in Finland from the name. The company produces many premium types of flavored and un-flavored their vodka, and sells it for a reasonable price to consumers.
Finlandia Vodka is not distilled using potatoes; instead the producers of it use barley and filtered water from the glacial regions in Finland. It has a unique taste from other vodkas that is light, and a little dry, which gives it a more sharp taste when you are drinking it. Some people may not prefer Finlandia because it is stronger vodka, but it does not burn when you drink it like badly made, cheap vodka will.
This smooth vodka is easy to drink and will mix well into many different cocktails. It is perfect for making the perfect vodka martini. You will get the pepper flavor in the aftertaste of this vodka that many people have grown to love it for. The taste of pepper may not sound like it would mix well with a fruity drink, but Finlandia actually goes well in a cranberry and vodka or even a Screwdriver cocktail. Because it has a peppery and almost sparkling taste, you can add a little something extra to your fruity cocktails.
A tasty martini that you can use Finlandia Vodka in is the Midnight Sun Martini. To make this special drink you will need one and half ounces of Finlandia Vodka, half an ounce of triple sec, and 3 ounces of white cranberry juice. Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, shake well, and then strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish the drink with a cherry and enjoy!
