Straight Vodka for Zakuski
When planning a truly different kind of cocktail party or buffet dinner party (see cards 180 and 199), the Zakuski cries out for attention; and chilled vodka is essential. Serve it straight from the bottle or from ice pitchers or decanters; just be sure that you have plenty of shot glasses or liqueur glasses for drinking the vodka neat, and a certain supply of mixes and juices for guests who do not like their vodka straight.
Non-Alcoholic Version
Substitute your favorite non-alcoholic vodka. Chocolate extract, chocolate powder, chocolate flavoring, and chocolate syrup are all great options to consider in place of the Creme de Caçao .
