Introducting Upstate Vodka by Sauvage

by xoJohn March 15, 2019

written by xoJohn 1 minutes read

The makers of Comsi Comsa Apple Sparkling Wine has added a new vodka to their ever-growing catalog, Upstate Vodka. The vodka is like no other. Upstate Vodka is produced in Oneonta, NY and is made from locally sourced New York State apples. It is produced in small batches with high-quality standards. While there are apples involved in the production of the vodka, it is not apple flavored. For the ultimate taste test, we chilled the vodka and poured it into a shot glass. We would describe the taste as having a little sweetness in the beginning but smooths out, almost instantly. Even with the tiniest sip, the flavor of the vodka will still fill your mouth, minus the burning sensation you get from other vodkas.

Earlier this week, Zodiac Vodka and Scooter Braun introduced Zodiac Vodka to the California market as part of the brand’s national rollout. The night’s theme was a journey through time and the party reflected it in every aspect. Upon walking up to the venue, guests were immediately greeted by one of the biggest hits of the night, a life size DeLorean Time Machine, best known as the fictional automobile-based time traveling device from the “Back to the Future” franchise.

During the evening, patrons were taken through the decades with the Hot Dub Time Machine – The World’s Best Time Traveling Dance Party DJ Tom Loud. He took the audience on a journey “through time” playing tracks and enormous projected visuals in “strict chronological order” from 1954 to 2015, all mashed live from vinyl turntables.
