Snova Vodka: T.G.I.F. Cocktail Recipes for January 29

Snova Vodka (80 proof) is trademarked by Top Shelf Brands, Inc. in Littleton, Colorado.  This is an award-winning, gluten free, grain based, Russian influenced, six times distilled times, American made vodka.  Founder and mixologist Paul Dunning, wanted to create a smooth and sophisticated vodka. That's exactly what he created.  Snova is a Russian term meaning, new beginnings, which bespeaks all that is Snova Vodka. 

The spirit was rated a 92 by Anthony Dias Blue of the Beverage Tasting Panel.  Most market vodkas do not fare as well.  The bottle is beautiful.  It's a cross between stained glass and, "Crap!  It's broken!"  Then, some sobbing, until you realize that it's all just a well-done design.

Snova has a deceptively ethanol nose.  You don't taste that heat until the very end.  It actually has a satin-like smooth, slightly sweet taste.  It's divinely perfect for mixing or even sipping.  We don't think that we've ever recommended a vodka for sipping, until now.  We could have.  But, we surely don't recall the act of having done that.  Clean.  Balanced.  Delightfully sneaky.
