This guide will introduce you to cocktails crafted with NEFT Vodka, exploring how it fits into Austria's vibrant culinary scene. Let’s dive in!

History of NEFT Vodka 


Russian Origins
NEFT derives its name from the Russian word for "oil," reflecting its origins. Vodka was originally crafted by Russian engineers in western Siberia in the 1970s. After successfully developing an oil field, these engineers used their newfound wealth to pursue their dream of creating a high-quality vodka, marking the beginning of a unique spirit. This rich history highlights the connection between industry and craftsmanship, setting the stage for the exceptional vodka that NEFT has become today.

Austrian Production 
Today, NEFT Vodka is produced in Austria using non-GMO rye grains and mountain spring water from the Rhaetian Alps. The vodka is distilled three times in a copper pot still and filtered using carbon layers. 
Modern Approach

NEFT Vodka is not just a spirit, it's a testament to refined sophistication. Known for its smooth taste, it is often enjoyed neatly or on rocks. The vodka is packaged in an unbreakable, lightweight metal barrel that keeps the liquid cold and is easily recyclable.
