wodka wyborowa wednesday

saying that is a mouthful and so is the vodka.
the rye-based premium little water - wodka wyborowa means exquisite vodka in polish - is silky smooth and pretty much what a vodka is - tasteless though it hinted of a coy sweetness.
it comes in a range of flavours from basic lemon to exotic almond and reminiscent of a single malt whisky - there's the single estate wyborowa.
it made its asian debut in kuala lumpur last june but the series of get-to-sip-the-stuff came my way last wednesday when the pernod-ricard chaps in kuala lumpur presented the wodka wyborowa pure in the chic studio lounge at the liquidbar in central market annexe, kuala lumpur.
yeah, liquid is the very same alibis way back in the early 1990s and yes, the dance floor is still in the same spot.
but i am getting ahead of myself. pernod-ricard malaysia brought their inhouse bartender - i remember his earrings but not his name - to knock us out.
the first was the wodka wyborowa pure - the basic unflavoured premium stuff - which packed a punch through the lime cordial. the fun and games was just about to start.
a couple of wanna-be deejays clowned around the music console in the studio as the bartender plonked a couple of ice-buckets filled with chilled screw-top test-tubes at our table.
the screw-top test-tubes - more widely seen as cigar packaging or at home at a CSI lab - contained wodka wyborowa with a variety of juices.
it kept the party going though the bartender was clearly dissatisfied with the quality of juices. i had to agree and he then decided to present his signature mix - a blue delight which is basically wodka wyborowa pure with lychee in syrup with blue curacao.
nice but it reminded me of teh tarik in kota bharu. hellishly sweet.
the night had yet to end.
out came the large cocktail glass with six pegs of different colours. all contained a generous shot of wodka wyborowa pure and the different colour was a way to figure which peg was whose.
you geddit, right!?
and so ended another spiritually spirited night.
