I hope potato vodka qualifies!! This from BraveAI......Vodka is believed to have originated in Poland, Russia, and Sweden, with different varieties being made by distilling liquid from fermented cereal grains and potatoes since introduced in Europe in the 1700s. Some theories suggest that vodka production began in Russia in the 14th century, with a monk by the name Isidore credited with inventing the original recipe of the Russian vodka. In the late 14th century, merchants brought red wine to the region of modern-day Moscow, which piqued their interest in producing their own kind of alcohol. In the 16th century, it was common for families to make their vodka at home, flavouring it with fruit and herbs to mask the harsh taste of the alcohol.The first vodka sold in the US was distilled in Bethel, Connecticut in 1934, and imported vodka from Russia only reached American markets in the 1970s.
