METHOD FOR PRODUCING VODKA "RUSSKY BRILLIANT PREMIUM" Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC C12G3/08 

FIELD: liqueur and vodka industry.

SUBSTANCE: method involves preparing an aqueous-alcoholic solution (mixture) from rectified ethyl alcohol "Luks" and purified drinking water to provides preparing ready vodka with the strength 40%. Mixture is stirred thoroughly and after control of its strength is pumped over into supply tank followed feeding to carbon-cleansing battery. Vodka filtered off in carbon-cleansing battery is fed to finishing tank, Fresh cucumbers and watermelon pulp taken in the amount 0.375-0.625 kg each are cut for pieces with thickness 1.0-1.5 cm and poured separately with an aqueous-alcoholic liquid with the strength 50% in the ratio = 1:10 and kept for 5 days at periodic stirring for 20-30 min, 2 times per a labor shift. Then ready infusions are poured off carefully, filtered off thoroughly and added to vodka sequentially into finishing tank. Refined granulated sugar as sugar syrup with the concentration 65.8% or as an aqueous solution is added to a mixing or finishing tank. Fructose and lactose taken in the amount 3.0-5.0 and 0.3-0.5 kg, respectively, are dissolved in softened water or 40% vodka, filtered through fabric filter and added into finishing tank at stirring. After addition of components the tank content is stirred and the strength value is corrected. The consumption of components, l per 1000 dal of ready product is the following: fructose, 3.0-5.0; lactose, 0.3-0.5; 65.8% sugar syrup, 11.0-12.0; fresh cucumbers infusion, 3.0-5.0; watermelon pulp infusion, 3.0-5.0; rectified ethyl alcohol "Luks" and purified drinking water, the balance, to provide the strength 40%. Proposed method provides enhancing organoleptic indices of vodka by 0.03 score based on the claimed combination of features and provided by the proposed method and reflected in examples. Vodka shows mild taste, barely detected green apple after taste, typical vodka aroma and barely detected green tea tint. The testing score is 9.71.

EFFECT: improved producing method, improved and valuable properties of vodka.
