Buy Vodka Online
Shaken, not stirred! Vodka is loved the world over, not just by our favourite secret agent.
Vodka is the base ingredient of classic cocktails including the Bloody Mary, White Russian, Cosmopolitan and of course, the humble Vodka Martini. It is much loved by mixologists across the globe because of its versatility – you can mix vodka with almost anything.
In actual fact this spirit was historically made to drink neat across the world in countries such as Russia, Poland and Latvia. These countries are part of what is known and the ‘Vodka Belt’, which are countries that are both producers and consumers of the spirit. The oldest written reference to vodka is from a Polish manuscript in 1405 – and during World War II the production of vodka spread worldwide. You can now walk into any bar or restaurant and see vodka lining the shelves.
Enjoy a glass of vodka over a few cubes of ice, or mix it to make your favourite cocktail. We are proud to stock a selection of vodkas from distilleries across the UK. If this has tickled your fancy, you might want to take a look at our range of gin and whiskey. We offer speedy home delivery and a convenient click and collect service, so you can be sipping your favourite vodka in no time at all after placing your order online.

How is vodka made?
Many people think vodka is made from potatoes, but that is not always the case. It can be distilled from almost anything that can be fermented to make alcohol. The most commonly used ingredients are potatoes, or cereal grains such as rye or barley.
After undergoing the fermentation process, this base ingredient will produce ethanol. This is then sieved out of the solid mixture which leaves pure liquid alcohol. Water is then added to the product, which will differ depending on the desired ABV. In the European Union, for a product to be classified as vodka it needs to be at least 37.5% – in the USA it’s higher at 40%.
Then comes the distillation process: which involves purifying the liquid by heating and vaporising it, then collecting the liquid as it recondenses. The liquid is then considered purer as it leaves behind many impurities when it evaporates. Vodka creators take many different approaches to distillation. Some distil it multiple times, others choose to add additional botanical ingredients to enhance the flavour.
Traditionally vodka is flavourless but many distilleries are now choosing to add other ingredients such as botanicals or spices after distillation, which helps their vodka achieve its own distinctive flavour.
