Barska is a brand of Vilniaus Degtinė, a spirits company based in Vilnius. The brand’s vodkas use ethyl alcohol from the Obeliai distillery, the country’s only spirit distillery, and are made from selected cereal grains. The Barska line-up includes Premium and Classic vodkas, both made from grain.

The 100ml size is a practical way to try Barska without opening a full bottle. It slips easily into a picnic bag or chilly bin, works as a nip for a couple of mixed drinks, and suits anyone curious about Baltic vodka. For a bigger gathering, two or three small bottles are easy to share around without leaving half-finished bottles in the cupboard.

Grain vodkas like this are clean and crisp, which makes them flexible in the glass. Chill the bottle well in the freezer and pour it neat into small glasses, the way vodka is often drunk in the Baltic states, with pickles, rye bread, smoked fish or cured meats on the side. For a long drink, pour it over ice with soda water and a wedge of lime, or mix it with tonic, orange juice or cranberry. It also works in a simple Moscow Mule with ginger beer and fresh lime.
