A Tasteless Misconception
There is a misconception about vodka, Los Angeles restaurateur
and vodkateur Larry Nicola believes. Even though “vodka”
stems from “voda,” the Russian word for water,
not all vodkas are tasteless, Nicola insists.
“If you select the right vodka, keep the bottle in the
freezer and also freeze the glass, you can savor the distinct
taste – whether it be a vodka distilled from rye, wheat,
potatoes or other sources,” said Nicola, whose restaurant,
Nic’s Beverly Hills (www.nicsbeverlyhills.com), is a
haven for vodka connoisseurs.
Take, for example, the signature martini that Nicola offers
at his restaurant. Featuring Kauffman, which he calls the
world's most luxurious vodka, Nicola has created a martini
that is served in its purest form with no fancy fusions, mixers
or added flavors. Served in specially designed mouth-blown
and handcarved glasses created by artist, Michael Weems, the
Kauffman Martini is exclusive to Nic’s and carries a
price tag of $150, glass included. The glasses alone are collectibles.
No two are alike, and they retail at $85 each.
