This sounds very strange, because strong alcohol is harmful to he alth - a proven fact. But still, buyers have the opportunity to minimize the damage that is caused to the body when drinking alcohol. How? Very simple - buy organic products. For example, Baikal vodka is produced from start to finish using exclusively environmentally friendly raw materials.

The process of creating the drink is strictly controlled, which is why this vodka was the first in Russia to receive such a certificate.

Vodka “Baikal Ice”

This drink is also produced by Jupiter Production. Its distinguishing feature is that before production, the water that is taken to make a drink in Lake Baikal is cooled to the state of ice (hence the name: “ice” in English – “ice”), and then it is melted again.

The characteristics of this drink are not much different from the Baikal vodka already discussed above, however, consumers note:

• Very mild tasting and easy to drink.
• Does not cause a hangover when consumed in moderation.
