History
Vodka originated in the grain-producing regions of Russia and Poland during the medieval period. The name comes from 'voda', the Slavic word for water. While Russia and Poland dispute its exact origins, both countries developed distinct vodka traditions. It became internationally popular in the mid-20th century, especially through cocktails like the Moscow Mule and Cosmopolitan.
