So far, the reviewers have been glowing about drinking it.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How it tastes?

Not great, not terrible.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Its been measured at 3.6% ABV

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But this equipment only measures up to 3.6% ABV!

We got the high-range boozimeter from the safe, but it burned out instantly.

Isn't most vodka around 40% abv?

Edit: Found their website https://www.atomikvodka.com/

Buy our unique 5x distilled Apple Spirit (42% ABV) and the First Release of our new Apple Brandy (42% ABV) aged in Ukrainian oak

Looks like 42% ABV

Ah that makes sense. Gotta add it to my long list of things I should watch

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 months ago (2 children)

interesting to note that the process of distillation removes radioactive particles from the product, making it safe to drink

Unless there's tritium in it (which is unlikely, half-life is too short)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

There could also be ^14^C, a beta emitter with a half life of 5730 years.

It's true what they say: Russians and vodka don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure, it'll clean you out, but it'll leave you hollow inside.

They're producing another weapon to use against the fascist invaders

Big brain time

Oh we can share with neighbours

That statement is true !

Why is there a black minivan parked in front of my house ?

You’ll be drunk for the rest of your life!

Too bad the boar doesn't have extra legs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Wonder how that'd affect the sales. Could either become local flop or a worldwide hit.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

this should've been an energy drink, I've been saying dor years how Monster tastes like radiation or electricity

Granted Atomik is a fire name for a radiation vodka though, so they got me beat in that department

Make a Molotov cocktail outta that stuff and you could level Moscow! Running away fast enough is a problem.

I thought vodka was made with potatoes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Anything containing sugar can be turned into alcohol. Some easier than others.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Potatoes are a grain? Actually where do potatoes come from? I know they can come from other potatoes, but of course there must be a grain.

These are the hard questions

I don’t want to go on a wikipedia hunt right now, for potato starch, but if you could educate me further, I would appreciate it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Not much to it, The starch is essentially just a type of complex carbohydrate, and potatoes are known to carry them in abundance. So while a potato is still technically a vegetable, it's often referred to as a starch or starchy vegetable because of how much starch it contains.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It can be made with either! I think most vodka you get (at least in the US) is made with grain, but there are distillers who specifically make potato vodka, too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Why do I really want to drink it? The distillation removes any radioactive particles making it safe to drink. And it just seems so fucking metal??

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Is it easy to find in the dark?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Do the farmers have to wear hazmat suits?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Tastes like metal
