Spirit can be produced from many different ingredients and produced In many different countries. It is not restricted to Russia or Poland which have become famous for such products, Most common ingredients are potato, grain, malt, molasses, agave, fruits from which spirit is distilled.

The purpose of this invention is to change the texture of the spirit itself unmixed with any flavoured carbonated water to create a pleasant slightly tingling sensation to the tongue, and in so doing bring out the special characteristics of the spirit used without decreasing the strength of the spirit

This process can be applied to any spirit and is not restricted by ABV below 94 Proof or 47 ABV but can not go higher
