This Polish gem is the OG of the lineup. Chopin Potato Vodka has become a bartender’s darling in recent years for what Nate Capenos, head bartender at Cote in New York City, describes as “subtle sweetness and texture, allowing the alcohol burn to dissipate before the flavor does.”

He uses it in the house signature, the Cashmere, which is “infused with spare vanilla pods [from the kitchen], paired with Amaro Nonino, fresh pear purée, and lemon juice.” He also uses a “high-ratio coconut tincture to tie it all together. It’s smooth, seductive, and refreshing, much like the base spirit.”
