'Vodka Rox' Sampling Event Features 60+ Vodkas

In addition to samplings, mixologists from some the area's best bars and restaurants will erve hand-crafted cocktails and asty bites.

Shaken, stirred or neat? Wheat, corn or rye? How do you normally enjoy your vodka?

Organizers of Vodka Rox say those and other questions will be answered at the spirit-sampling event to be held from 8-11:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10, at the Royal Oak Farmers Market. Suppliers from around the globe will offer samples of more than 60 vodkas – everything from vodkas produced at small-batch distilleries to 400-year-old staples. Restaurants will serve a variety of vodka-inspired appetizers, and music will be provided by DJs.

Attendees of Vodka Rox will be treated to samplings of the finest brands and varieties of premium vodkas, as well as infusions and flavored vodkas, and a wide variety of cocktails hand-crafted by mixologists from some of the area’s best bars, including Fifth Avenue, Good Night Gracies, Local Kitchen, Black Finn, Firebird Tavern, The Oakland, and Grasshopper Lounge.
