Being the Polak that I am, this water and ethanol miracle juice naturally runs in my veins. Poland has been producing vodka since the Middle Ages as a "healing remedy" for various ailments. It was even said that it was "to increase fertility and awaken lust"... Ha! This is to prove that drunken sexcapades have been around for way longer than even the roaring 20's.
Żubrówka, being my favorite poison of choice, is a dry herb (Bison Grass) flavored vodka made from rye. Paired with apple juice on the rocks, it's simply divine! But vodka isn't just for drinking. Dahlia Rideout suggests some amusing insights on practicality of adult beverages (especially for ladies):
-Clean jewelry. Soak the jewelry in vodka for five minutes, then rinse, and dry.
- Clean lipstick from clothing. Rub the stain with vodka, then throw into your regular wash.
-Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.
-Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.
