Vodka dosing

[moreef]

So I decided to start dosing vodka and got a cheap bottle at the store but didn’t notice till I got home that it is 40proof. Is it ok to double the recommended dose or should I drink this and get some 80proof?

Either way, I’m sure the fish will have a great time

Wodka is made by taking relatively pure alcohol, and mixing it with water to get 40% or so. So if yours is just wodka, then the only difference is that there is more water, so doubling it should be fine. Make sure that it really is just wodka and the manufacturers didn't get any funny ideas adding random ingredients

Are you sure it's not 40% instead of 40 proof? I suggest you taste test. Then add a splash of vermouth and an olive and/or cocktail onion, and taste test again. If still unsatisfied, try club soda and again taste test. Can't be too careful.

Seriously though. I agree with @elysics. Make sure it hasn't been diluted with anything other than water.

Ok thats what I thought Thanks. It’s 100% pure grain alcohol so at least I got that part right.

I prefer Kettle One but I do not give it the fish!

now you know why it was cheap...it contains half as much alcohol as normal...this way dive bars can still use a shot glass and dont have to water it down....just realize that the other 79 % of that bottle isnt exactly ro/di
