Vodka's lack of flavor allows it to be mixed with many numbers of other spirits, juices, and mixers for high versatility. The neutrality or lack of flavor allows vodka to be easily flavored with other ingredients and has helped to make Vodka as popular as it is today.

With so many styles and flavor profiles, there are plentiful samples of vodka to choose from and there's the problem. With so many brands to select from it is often difficult to make a selection at that bar or restaurant, or to know what to mix it with.

Warning: This course gets technical at times I have tried to be as detailed as possible. Some reviews have stated the course is too technical at times, but I think better to give too much info than not enough.
