Vodka “Neat”

Serving vodka “neat” (straight up) is best when cold although many do enjoy a quality vodka at room tempature. You may want to consider preparing your drinks “on the rocks” (on ice) or storing your vodka in the freezer. The high alcohol content allows vodka to be stored in the freezer without a problem.  Enjoy your True North neat.
