Vodka is a clear and colorless alcoholic beverage, typically produced through the distillation of grains or potatoes. It is known for its neutral flavor, making it suitable to be mixed in a wide range of cocktails or consumed on its own. Originally from Eastern Europe, vodka has become popular worldwide. Its high alcohol content, usually ranging from 35% to 50% alcohol by volume, makes it a strong drink, often used for celebrating or socializing.
