I *love* vodka, you must understand this before anything else. So when I say to you that Zyr is my favorite vodka, this is definitely saying something bold.
Its pretty blue bottle stands out from anywhere, and it is a gorgeous a bottle. Something very nice to see match its classy qualities; the presentation is much appreciated.
Russian vodka speaks of quality alone, but an inspection is always needed to see what sets it apart from the rest, and why Zyr particularly is so special.
9 : 5 : 3
Why will this suddenly have a meaning to you? Well let’s take a look by what they mean by this ratio.
9 Filtrations
5 Distillations
3 Tasting Tests
The results are absolutely amazing and incredibly smooth- dangerously smooth, in fact. It is a curious blend of winter wheat and rye- and the taste definitely is lovely.
I drink it neat or on the rocks, preferably on the rocks- it is best appreciated alone. It is such a smooth vodka and has just the perfect hint of a sweet finish. This is a yummy one and a must for any vodka and/or spirits lover.
I have yet to see someone who does not like it after having tasted it. Even those who generally do not prefer vodka (for usually they have not had it properly or have not had the right kinds).
Now, here is how it can be oh so extra dangerously smooth- if you choose to mix this vodka…
… you will devour your drinks faster than ever. It is so smooth it doesn’t feel like consuming alcohol at all when in the company of juices and other mixed drink combinations.
Now- it will definitely makes those drinks incredibly yummy and drinkable, if not refreshing, but for the true vodka lover on the rocks is the way to go here.
Should that stop you from ordering it in your mixed drinks? Never- do both depending on your mood. Tastes especially nice in a Basil8. Perhaps more on that one later.
Yum! I love it!
It is not available everywhere just yet, though you can find it available online. Be on the look out for it wherever you are- it is a wonderful and delightful treat.

My favorite vodka is gin ! LOL Seriously, I’m not much of a fan of vodka. There is one vodka cocktail that I do like though:
Moscow Mule
* 2 ounces vodka
* 3 ounces ginger beer
* 1 ounce lime juice
Build in an ice filled highball glass (or copper mug). Garnish with a lime wedge.
To be authentic you really should use a Moscow Mule copper mug. You’ll find them on a little website called eBay. You may have heard of it before!

Ha ha ha, love it! That sounds delicious, actually- ginger and lime are a lovely combination. Thank you for the drink, I will try it and see if I cannot find the mug to complete the look.
I love it when drinks have their own specific glass, even more alluring. eBay, hmmm, may have to google that one
Best Regards and Thank you, again!

Zyr is simply amazing. From the first taste a few years ago at a nearby Habachi grill until today, I have had nothing else that has made me want to sing its praises the way Zyr does.
You could not be more accurate in your descriptions.

Definitely, and agreed- I’ve never raved so much over a vodka before until I found this one.
Still waiting for distribution to grow to more places- is available online though
much love, xx
