strong drink, and it is considered to be masculine, because the content of purified ethyl alcohol here is usually 40%.

And even though the plant now produces rocket and space technology, and cars have not left the assembly line for several decades, the name of the Russo-Baltic company is still associated precisely with the automotive industry. The aforementioned vodka is made from high quality raw materials, it includes natural ingredients and excellent quality alcohol. She went through several stages of purification, which, undoubtedly, characterizes her as the highest grade products.
Why the price is prohibitive

alcoholic drinks are usually packaged in exclusive bottles, the price of which is most of the cost of production. And the most expensive vodka in the world is no exception. Russo-Baltique vodka is produced in a bulletproof bottle, the wall thickness of which is 30 centimeters, respectively, the weight of the container is also considerable. The special strength of the packaging protects it from being accidentally dropped. The exclusive bottle is closed with a special cork made of white and yellow gold. Anyone who decides to purchase such vodka will receive a prestigious SUV as a gift. The car is armored, and its rims are made of solid gold. The cost of one bottle of Russo-Baltique vodka is 1 million 400 thousand dollars. As you know, vodka is part of many cocktails. It would be interesting to know how much a cocktail will cost if the most expensive vodka in the world is added to it.
The most expensive vodka cocktail and the person who can try it
Let's take the Bloody Mary cocktail as an example. It includes:
- 45 ml of vodka;
- 240 ml of tomato juice;
- salt, black pepper;
- 4 ml of Worcester sauce;
- some lemon or lime juice.
The highlight of the drink lies in its preparation. The bottom line is that initially tomato juice is poured into the glass (or glass), followed by pepper and salt, after which all this is mixed. Lemon juice and sauce are added. A pinch of salt and pepper is poured over the juice, so an intermediate layer is formed between vodka and juice. Then expensive vodka is added to the glass (we agreed that we make a cocktail based on Russo-Baltique), it is better to pour it over the blade of a knife. So, if we take as a basis the cost of half a liter of strong drink - 1 million 400 thousand dollars, then we can calculate how much it will cost 45 ml. the most expensive vodka. By simple calculations we get the result - a portion of the “Bloody Mary” cocktail based on Russo-Baltique will cost $ 126 thousand. You can understand that vodka, the most expensive and exclusive, is not made for everyday feasts, and only the richest people in the world can afford it - oligarchs, oil tycoons or rulers of states. The first owner of an exclusive bottle of Russo-Baltique vodka was the Prince of Monaco. Well, you can’t forbid living beautifully, such a drink can be a good investment (with subsequent sale at an auction after a certain number of years), or it can become an exquisite gift for a significant person. After all, the most expensive vodka ever produced is hardly bought in order to just drink it, however paradoxical it may sound.
