April 29, 2007 – The days are turning warmer and thoughts are shifting to satiating drink possibilities. Newcomer Silk Vodka is prepared to be front and center to meet the call for a thirst-quenching adults-only beverage. Enter: A very adult version of lemonade, created with a parched palate in mind.
Created for Silk Vodka by beverage industry expert Robert Plotkin of BarMedia, The Moscow Lemonade calls lemons and raspberries into action in ways never before witnessed. They are muddled, shaken and strained then mixed and poured to perfection, in two versions to satisfy the thirsty soul.

There are four components that determine vodka quality: water, ingredients, distillation and filtration.
Silk Vodka’s unique quality comes from pristine water drawn from 400-feet deep Artesian wells; a blend of the finest rye, wheat and barley from the rich and fertile Russian Steppes; and a five-time distillation of its Luxe grade spirits. But it is the extraordinary 14-step filtration process through natural mountain crystals that result in Silk Vodka’s unmatched smoothness and purity.
According to Plotkin, The Silk Vodka offers “a featherweight body with the aroma of sweet grain that highlights its generous, pleasant bouquet…it fills the mouth with delectable grain and malty flavors that persist long into the flawless finish.”About Soyuz Victan Company:
