Hi loves,
How are you all doing? It’s Diwali time, one of the most exciting times of the year, a time of festivities, laughter, gifts and so much more. Diwali is always very special to me as it is celebrated by my entire family together and brings back so many beautiful memories from my childhood. Every Diwali I find something special to add to the celebrations and this time I introduced my favorite vodka brand Zirkova vodka and an unique Diwali cocktail which I am sharing recipe below, so check it out and see how you can celebrate Diwali prosperously with Zirkova vodka too!
Diwali for me
Diwali is not just a festival for me, it is a emotional journey that I go through every year and I enjoy all the elements of the festival with my family. I love setting Rangoli or colorful, intricate patterns, I love making mithai or variety of Indian sweets. I love setting up the Lakshmi goddess puja, I love lighting diyas or candles or I love lighting fireworks too! But most of all of these, what I love most is cooking all the amazing Indian food and create some nice Diwali cocktails for all the guests. This year I introduced my favorite vodka Zirkova vodka to create a new unique Diwali cocktail mentioned below which you will definitely love!
Celebration with Zirkova
The origin of Diwali came from the mythological story of King Rama’s return to Ayodhya after he defeated Ravana by lighting rows of clay lamps. This is so surprising to see how a mythological story became one of the biggest celebrations of the year all across the world. Diwali is a celebration where people forget who they are or any differences and come together for pure celebration. I see a lot of resemblance on how Zirkova brand is created. Zirkova stands for the freedom to be who you are. The purpose that Zirkova provides is we exist to celebrate our authentic selves and one another. To just be you, to appreciate and celebrate each other. And to unite through uplifting moments of optimism and possibility. For all of you who do not know the history and origin on Zirkova, here is it below:
Zirkova Vodka is a Ukrainian Vodka brand, founded by Canadians and headquartered in Ontario, Canada that created two unique ultra-premium vodkas crafted for how you drink vodka – neat or to enhance cocktails. Historical records show that 600 years ago, the first vodkas were made in the Cherkasy Region. At the time it was a part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Today, it’s in the geographic center of Ukraine – where Zirkova is crafted. The factory where Zirkova is crafted was built by the Russian Tsar Nicholas the II – where he used the Tsar cut or center cut of the spirits for himself and everything else was left for the “common people”. Today Zirkova only uses those center or Tsar’s cuts in our spirits – however – making them accessible to all. Also, Zirkova is Gluten-Free, Vegan Friendly and Keto Friendly.
ZIRKOVA ONE – Crafted to be sipped neat, on the rocks, with soda and or in a classic martini.
ZIRKOVA TOGETHER – Formulated to make cocktails taste noticeably better.
