It’s Vodka Day. You know, instead of hiding it in a cocktail, today let’s drink it like our drunkard brethren of the East do. That is, neat, chilled or not, and with Zakuski. Which literally means “the thing you follow it with, “it” being the vodka. These tidbits are eaten between each glass, and can include almost anything, from marinated mushrooms, spicy pickles, vegetables, fatty duck, bread, crackers, etc. Give it a try. It’s quite a nice way to get loaded. And as for those who say Vodka day was on the 4th, two days ago, I say, what are you trying to say? That Labor Day and Vodka are somehow linked? That Labor Day is just a front for an international communist conspiracy? For shame!
