Travel Friendly Premium Vodka for Camping Trips and Tailgating

This post is intended for persons 21 years of age and older. Are you ready to hit the road for a hard earned road trip with your family or friends?  I was recently sent a sample of NEFT vodka and wanted to share information about it with you. NEFT is an award winning vodka which is a two-time Double Gold medal winner in 2018 and 2019.  NEFT has also won Best Vodka from over 165 entrants in 2018, at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Unlike traditional vodka, NEFT ultra-premium vodka, comes uniquely packaged to make it perfect for travel.  In addition to a sleek glass bottle, the crafters created 750ml and 100ml barrels.  These barrels are more recyclable than glass, and virtually unbreakable.  I found this vodka to have a nice scent, to be smooth with a pleasant dryness.  This has a nice natural taste that would be perfect for Bloody Mary, Moscow Mule and other popular drinks. Are you looking for unique cocktails to enjoy?  Check out
