How to Make Vodka
Vodka is a neutral spirit that tends not to have a distinctive flavour or taste in its untampered form.

This makes it a spirit that is easy to produce in a relatively short space of time.

You could argue that this adds to the character and appeal depending on what you look for in a bar.
