Drink pure vodka. Most vodka aficionados believe that drinking vodka in its pure form is the best way to enjoy it. ^{[1] X Research Source}

Vodka is made from fermented grains or vegetables. ^{[2] X Research Sources} Vodka from fermented cereals is very smooth, sometimes fruity, while vegetable vodka has astringent and herbal flavors. ^{[3] X Research Sources}
According to vodka connoisseurs, good wine will have a smooth taste, aroma of the ingredients that make it and a solid texture when frozen. And bad vodka will be bitter, liquid and smell like medicine. If your palate feels like it’s burning, chances are it’s poor quality vodka.
If you have trouble choosing vodka, choose a famous brand. Most people like Gray Goose, Absput, Smirnoff, Titos, Ketel One, or Stpichnaya. ^{[4] X Research Sources}
If plain vodka is too heavy for you, choose ones with green apple or vanilla. The added sugar makes the wine easier to drink.

Put the vodka in the freezer for a few hours. Vodka is not like wine, it tastes better when cold . ^{[5] X Research Sources}

Don’t worry about the vodka freezing. Alcohol has a lower freezing point than water and will not freeze in your regular freezer.

Pour vodka into a small glass. Pour enough wine for a few sips. Remember this is not a cocktail, pure vodka will make you drunk faster.

Vodka is usually drunk in small pintless glasses. Pour the wine about 3-5 millimeters below the rim of the glass.
Can be replaced with small wine quail.

Drink vodka with candy

Add Skittles to the vodka. Like the Starburst candy vodka, this candy cocktail is alcoholic but has a childish taste.

Divide Skittles into individual flavors. Unlike Starburst, this concoction needs to be divided into flavors to enjoy. You will need 60 Skittles for each scent.
Put Skittles in an empty water bottle. Use the funnel to pour 180 ml of vodka into the Skittles container. Shake until vodka is the color of Skittles.
Let the mixture sit for a few hours to allow the candy to dissolve and blend into the vodka. Strain the mixture with a coffee filter, then pour the filtered Skittles vodka into a glass jar with a lid. Leave the freezer for a few hours. Now your vodka is ready! ^{[13] X Research Source}

Gummy Bears candies marinated in vodka. Although not a drink, this fruit-flavored marshmallow makes a great snack when it is added with vodka.

Put Gummy Bears in the container with the desired amount. Pour in enough vodka to cover the amount of candy. Seal the container and keep in the refrigerator for at least 3 days before using.
Taste the candy after 2 days to estimate whether the concentration of voka in the candy is up to your requirements. If not, add or reduce the amount of wine in the box.
You can use Gummy Worms instead of Gummy Bears, but avoid Red Fish and Swedish Fish marshmallows. These candies do not completely absorb the vodka, but are also sticky. ^{[14] X Research Source}

Make Starburst vodka. We can make fruity candy cocktails with Starburst divided into flavors.

You can divide Starburst into separate flavors or mix them up depending on what flavor you want to mix. Put about 10 tablets in an empty water bottle.
Using a funnel, pour 200 ml of vodka into the jar. Shake until vodka is the color of Starburst. Leave the mixture overnight for the tongs to loosen and blend into the vodka. ^{[15] X Research Source}
Filter it all with a coffee filter bag. This step helps to remove the residue and makes the mixture smooth.
Put Starburst vodka in a freezer-safe jar, a glass jar with a lid is best. Put the vodka in the freezer for a few hours and enjoy!

Advice

Try the traditional “nazdorovye” invitation to toast, which means good health.
If someone raises a toast, traditionally you have to drink as well.
Drinking alone without asking for a toast is considered a lack of etiquette.
After emptying a bottle of vodka, put it on the floor or walk away. Empty vodka bottles on the table are considered bad luck.
If someone raises a glass, you are traditionally required to drink as well, but not necessarily vodka, possibly non-alcoholic.

Warning
