My cocktail galpal Melissa over at Raleigh Magazine gives us the skinny on vodka’s history, including its rise to cocktail fame and inevitable correction/downtown, and now, like sweater weather, return to (distilled) glory.
Let’s all reminisce on our Blue Martini days (this is how you know you were in Raleigh in your 20s…) and enjoy not only the storied history together but the solid spirits knowhow from the true local market experts by reading “Vodka en Vogue“. ???? Pinkies up, please.
