Yes, it's true - the birthplace of vodka can be found in Poland dating back to the early Middle Ages. And vodka (Polish: wódka), is not only the official national drink of Poland, it is the centerpiece of Polish life, enjoyed at most every celebration and occasion. In fact, in this land where vodka began, Sobieski is the number one premium vodka.

So you'll forgive us if we bristle at the notion promoted by those who claim that vodka had its origins, well, elsewhere. There's frankly a lot that many people don't know about Poland, and we've only just begun to tell our story.

Sobieski Truth Serum
1 1/2 oz Sobieski Vodka
1/2 oz Aperol
1/4 oz Marie Brizard Peach
2 oz The Republic of Tea Acai or Cranberry tea
1/2 oz simple syrup
1/2 oz lemon juice

Pour the ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker; shake vigorously, strain and serve.

Tito's Handmade Vodka is produced in Austin at Texas' first and oldest legal distillery. It's made in small batches in an old fashioned pot still by Tito Beveridge (actual name), a 45-year-old Geologist, and distilled six times.

Tito's Handmade Vodka is designed to be savored by spirit connoisseurs. It is micro-distilled in an old-fashioned pot still, just like fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs. This time-honored method of distillation requires more skill and effort than modern column stills, but it's well worth it.

Our handcrafted technique offers more control over the distillation process, resulting in a spectacularly clean product of incomparable excellence. Only the heart of the run, "the nectar" is taken, leaving behind residual higher and lower alcohols. The vodka is cleansed of phenols, esters, congenersand organic acids by filtering it through the finest activated carbon available.

Critics call Tito's "a homegrown symphonic spirit to applaud!" and say "it can go head to head with any of the worlds' greats and not break a sweat."

Tito's Handmade Vodka won the prestigious Double Gold Medal having prevailed over 70 of the world's best premium vodkas, as the judges' unanimous Gold Medal choice, at The World Spirits Competition in San Francisco California.

Vikingfjord is a brand of Vodka, distilled from potatoes and bottled by the Norwegian company Arcus. It is distilled through a six-column process, using only glacial water from the Jostedalsbreen glacier in South-Western Norway.

The brand was introduced in the 1980s by the Vinmonopolet chain of state-owned liquor-stores. The stores, which have a monopoly on all retail wine and liquor sales in Norway, introduced the product to compete with foreign brands sold in Norway. Sales were sluggish until marketing of the brand was taken over by Arcus in 2004.

Pre-mixed flavored cocktails are also sold in Norway under the name Vikingfjord IceBreaker.

Vikingfjord is sold in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany and the United States. In the U.S. it has been marketed since 2002 as a super-premium vodka, and is, as of 2006, number 9 among imported vodkas. Vikingfjord won the Gold Medal in the 2006 San Francisco Worlds Spirits Competition in the Unflavored Vodka, 40% category.
