It's true what they say: Russians and vodka don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure, it'll clean you out, but it'll leave you hollow inside.
It can be made with either! I think most vodka you get (at least in the US) is made with grain, but there are distillers who specifically make potato vodka, too.
Not much to it, The starch is essentially just a type of complex carbohydrate, and potatoes are known to carry them in abundance. So while a potato is still technically a vegetable, it's often referred to as a starch or starchy vegetable because of how much starch it contains.
So far, the reviewers have been glowing about drinking it.
How it tastes?
Not great, not terrible.
Its been measured at 3.6% ABV
But this equipment only measures up to 3.6% ABV!
We got the high-range boozimeter from the safe, but it burned out instantly.
Probably got a bad one the. Mother Russia make great Potato
I'm guessing this is a reference, but im not putting 2 and 2 together.

Isn't most vodka around 40% abv?
Edit: Found their website https://www.atomikvodka.com/
Looks like 42% ABV

Ah that makes sense. Gotta add it to my long list of things I should watch
Nuka Cola (High Proof)?
interesting to note that the process of distillation removes radioactive particles from the product, making it safe to drink
If distilling removes the radioactive particles, then no, it isn't.
Not drinking vodka is more safe than drinking vodka
True, but it comes with the downside of not drinking vodka.
I need some vodka to deal with this
Thank you, Jessie.
...And that is why I hate chemistry.
It's just alchemy disguised as a science.
Unless there's tritium in it (which is unlikely, half-life is too short)
There could also be ^14^C, a beta emitter with a half life of 5730 years.
You’ll be drunk for the rest of your life!
Too bad the boar doesn't have extra legs.
Wonder how that'd affect the sales. Could either become local flop or a worldwide hit.

Chernobyl is in Ukraine
They're producing another weapon to use against the fascist invaders
Big brain time
Oh we can share with neighbours
That statement is true !
Why is there a black minivan parked in front of my house ?
That gif is giving me a seisure
this should've been an energy drink, I've been saying dor years how Monster tastes like radiation or electricity
Granted Atomik is a fire name for a radiation vodka though, so they got me beat in that department
Make a Molotov cocktail outta that stuff and you could level Moscow! Running away fast enough is a problem.
I thought vodka was made with potatoes.
Anything containing sugar can be turned into alcohol. Some easier than others.
Sure, but what makes vodka vodka and not, say, brandy or moonshine if not the starting material you're fermenting?
Vodka is pretty much just ethanol. It doesn't have (and isn't supposed to have) any taste or smell.
It can be made with pretty much everything.
Processes. Vodka is just neutral spirits. Think of what makes whisky whisky.

Potatoes are a grain? Actually where do potatoes come from? I know they can come from other potatoes, but of course there must be a grain.
These are the hard questions
Potatoes are a starch.
I don’t want to go on a wikipedia hunt right now, for potato starch, but if you could educate me further, I would appreciate it

Why do I really want to drink it? The distillation removes any radioactive particles making it safe to drink. And it just seems so fucking metal??
Is it easy to find in the dark?
Do the farmers have to wear hazmat suits?
Tastes like metal
Chat is this real?
Scrooged anyone?
