Vodka

According to a legend, around 1430, a monk named Isidore from Chudov Monastery inside the Moscow Kremlin made a recipe of the first Russian vodka. Having a special knowledge and distillation devices, he became the creator of a new, higher quality type of alcoholic beverage.

Did you know… Vodka originated from the word “voda,” which means water in Russian. Interestingly, Vodka weighs less than water, one litre of Vodka weighs 50 grams less than 1 litre of water.
