Due to its versatility, vodka continues to be the most popular of spirits, forming the base for the widest possible range of cocktails. A part from the dazzling array of flavoured vodka's even plain vodka's vary in taste and texture depending on the base ingredients. Although Vodka can be distilled from just about any carbohydrate, the main ingredients are often: wheat (Absolut and Ketel One,) which can impart an aniseed note, barley (Finlandia & Single Vodka) and rye (Belvedere & Zubrówka,) adding a sweetness with a slightly nutty and spicy aroma. For those who like a creamy texture, potato (Luksusowa and Boyd & Blair) can offer a soft, buttery flavour and is a great alternative for making gluten free cocktails. There are also multi-grain Vodkas such as Ultimat, which is made from rye, potato, and wheat.
