(PRESS RELEASE)_Delray Beach and Jupiter, FL—Vodka’s popularity in the United States can be traced back to the repeal of Prohibition and the purchase of a Connecticut-based distiller named Smirnoff in 1939. Today, Americans remain unquenchably fascinated by the colorless, odorless, and tasteless tipple renowned for its unflappable ability to stand alone and serve as the bedrock for such legends as the Cosmopolitan and Moscow Mule.
 
On October 4—National Vodka Day—fans of the apex spirit can imbibe their appreciation at one of hundreds of watering holes around the Palm Beaches, including Delray Beach’s Dada and Blackbird Modern Asian in Jupiter. Both award-winning dining establishments serve traditional vodka-infused libations and some that border on the eccentric.
