BWRR, during the Bad Old Days, and even now, Ivan produced this brown vodka called Starka...

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH.....

designated as an export only item, but the big shots could still lay hands on it. Last I heard, it was going for about $100 per liter, and the better bars here in Vegas, last I heard, were doing shots at $20 per.

Had one shot once. I can't drink any more vodka for the rest of my stretch, 'cause that shot was the top.

The barkeep was smart, he filled up an Old-fashioned glass 2/3 full of ice, put the shotglass in the ice, poured the (cooled bottle) Starka directly into the chilled shot, and let it sit a few minutes, THEN served.
