The nature of the beast insures a long shelf life - asuming that it actually
makes it to the shelf
The secret is to end up reasonably close to 60 proof (30% alcohol). If you
know the proof of that strong vodka you can do the math.Over 60 proof makes
for a bad taste. Under - well - matter of preference - to a point.
Nothing written in stone here.
Experiment - have fun.
