Hanukkah has past and we decided to extend our list of kosher vodka drinks in order to help find proper drink for Purim.

What is kosher vodka?

In general you don’t need a heksher to have kosher vodka on your table. But some of the producers might filter with help of non-kosher ingredients or milk, and it might be a problem from the position of various kosher authorities. So, actually kosher vodka is just usual vodka without color additives and problematic ingredients during processing.

Eastern Europe traditions

Everybody knows Latkes, but not everybody knows where it comes from.
Latkes is very traditional nowadays in Belarus, Ukraine, Baltic states and Russia. Sometimes it is called Draniki. It doesn’t matter how you call it – Latkes or Draniki, but if you know what it is, then we can say with 100% certainty, that your ancestors are coming from Eastern Europe.
Then you should also know which vodka to choose for proper support of Latkes on a table.
