8 THE CINCINNATI TOST MONDAY APRIL 30 1936 Richard Gordon Don't Kid Yourself Vodka's Potent Claims Against Soviet Sifted 2700 Cases Total $34 Billion Probe To Last 4 Years "SIM Store Hours: Monday and Thursday 9:30 to 8:30 Tuesday Wednesday Friday and Saturday 9:30 to 5:30 Sorry No Mail or Phone Orders Filled! and Novelty Slippers mixing with such things as tomato juice (a Bloody Mary) end orange juice (a screw driver) But this tastelessness also imparts to vodka a very deceptive quality Some people just can't realize it is 50 per cent alcohol that is until afterward LONG afterward This reminds us of another raiher deceptive beverage which was popular in our long-lost youth We refer to sloe gin The trendsetters back in those days were waxing enthusiastic about such conooctiagis as slo gin fizzes and sloe gin bucks And the youth of the dav having approached maturity during the great dry spell felt a puzzlement over what alcoholic beverage to try Many tried sloe gin I can still hear a friend of mine saying: "It tastes just like cherry ccke" I imagine he remembers it too For sloe gn is not to be confused with cherry coke Oh never Absolutely never BUT TO GET BACK to Some people apparently drink it because they think nobody will be able to smell it on their breath This can be a snare and a delusion A good many European and American vodkas have definite tastes and aromas Dr Boruff technical director of the Hiram Walker organization says you can find out ii a vodka carries with it a bouquet for your breath by performing this test: Pour two ounces of hot or boiling water over an ounce of vodka in a six-ounce glass Put a lid on it and wait a few seconds Then smell the vapor Some vodkas will be found to possess a grainy aroma And if it is apparent in the glass it also will be apparent on your breath It goes without saying that vodka should be treated with the same care required in dealing with any aleohelie beverage Even if it can't be tasted or smelled it still carries a kick So don't underestimate ii Maybe the Russians DO hae a sense of calling it "little water!" THAT BIG BRAWL the Russians threw the other iiight in London aroused our rcien-tific curiosity It seemed most of the lubrication for this party was provided by "orika a beverage which evidently works wonders when it ronv-to removing inhibitions So we say to ourselves just what I In literal translation from pSly the Russian it turns out to mean little water" We think they really mean KRY little IVHk Vodka can be made fie rrt rye potatoes or Barley Fur- thermore the word vodka i sometimes is used in Russia to denote vvisl-v Brandy or almost any other type offire water Apparently the Russians very particular about such things especially after a couple of shots of potato juice 1U AMERICANS when they ask for vodka mean ihe clear colorless more or less tastless liquor which is supposed to leave no tell-tale aroma on the breath In Ohio last ear 114000 gallons of vodka were sold This compares with only 40000 in 1954 That was a tremendous gain but it may be due in part to slowness in getting started on vodka at all The leading vodka state right now is California Ohio liquor stores were handling six brands of vodka but in March they added eight more brands All of these are domestic and are made from grain without any potatoes There are two types 80 proof and 100 proof That means 40 and 50 per cent alcohol and probably indicates high antiseptic value VODKA is ESSENTIALLY grain neutral spirits The distillers filter it through charcoal and get nearly pure alcohol which then is diluted One goal of the manufacturers seems to be virtual tastelessness This makes for easy Orig 59c
