Russian Standard Vodka  Vodka has been to Russians what wine is to the French: a national spirit and treasure. Following the original 1894 formula for the Russian Czars, Russian Standard Vodka has become the #1 Premium Vodka in Russia. Made from hardy Russian winter wheat and blended with soft glacial waters from Lake Ladoga, Russian Standard Vodka is distilled four times and filtered twice through charcoal yielding a smooth, clean taste that delivers a classic bread-flavored finish. Russians consume over 200 Million cases of vodka a year – more than 4 times the United States with less than half the population – making them the worlds vodka experts. Russian Standard is by far the #1 Premium Vodka in Russia – commanding more than 60% of the Premium Vodka business in Russia. Sold in more than 70 countries around the world, Russian Standard is quickly become the vodka of choice for vodka connoisseurs all over the world. Our label is in Cyrillic, but you can easily order it in English: just ask for “Russian Standard” and say “Na Zdorovye!” (naz dro-vea) | |
The Moscow Mule  The Moscow Mule kicked off the vodka craze in the United States during the 1940s and 50s when gin was the preferred "white" liquor. The cocktail was invented in 1941 by John G. Martin of G.F. Heublein Brothers, an East Coast spirits and food distributor, and John "Jack" Morgan, President of Cock 'n' Bull Products (which produced ginger beer) and the proprietor of the Cock 'n' Bull Tavern, a Hollywood pub popular with celebrities. Together they devised and marketed the Moscow Mule, a mixture of vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice, served in an iconic signature copper mug. Today Russian Standard Vodka is putting the Moscow in the Moscow Mule.For a perfect Russian Standard Moscow Mule put 2 oz of Russian Standard Vodka and 5 oz of Ginger Beer in a copper cup filled with ice. Add a squeeze of lime and enjoy! | |
Russian Vodka Rituals  Appetizers, amuse-bouches, starters, snacks, tapas, hors d'oeuvres, canapés, small plates—Russians, strong believers that brevity is the soul of wit, have given them but one name: zakuskis. Zakuskis are the traditional accompaniment to the perfect chilled shot of Russian Standard. A central part of any Russian gathering, these delicate, colorful bites are often piled so high that tables groan beneath their sheer quantity and variety, demonstrating the sheer expanse of the country with influences from all corners of what was once Imperial Russia, then the Soviet Union, and today the Russian Federation. A kaleidoscope of Russian culinary traditions, zakuskis might include jewel-bright salad, cured meats, smoked fish, tiny sandwiches, airy dumplings, fluffy pastries, wild mushrooms and cucumbers pickled to perfection—and, with premium vodkas by Russian Standard, plenty of caviar, which can be eaten piled atop blini and garnished with hard-boiled eggs, sour cream and chopped onion, or, as the real decadents do, straight off an ivory spoon. It's a tradition that brings all the glory of yesterday to modern-day, international induldence—and one that can keep any evening celebration going strong into the next day. So with your next chilled shot of Russian Standard Vodka make sure to have your favorite Zakuski in hand! | |
