Belvedere Vodka’s recipe and distillation process has been perfected over 600 years in Poland, truly setting it apart from other spirits brands’ less refined methods. It mixes beautifully with juices and carbonated beverages, and is even delightful when sipped on its own on the rocks. With the economy still putting a dent in most of our wallets, why not mix your own tumbler of holiday cheer? Ring the Belvedere Silver bells! A bottle is the perfect gift for revelers old and new. $34.99 for a 750ML bottle. Available at all fine wine and spirits locations.
