Kizlyarka is a grape vodka named after the Russian city of Kizlyar, where much of the drink is produced. Kizlyarka's alcohol content is 40-45%.
==Production process== Alcohol is aged in barrels for up to one and a half years by distillation of grape must, acquiring a yellow tint over time. Sugar syrup and water are then added, the amount of the latter added determining the alcohol content of the Kizlyarka. Generally, there are three types of Kizlyarka. "Original" is not aged and has an alcohol content of 40%; "traditional" is aged for 7 months and has an alcohol content of 40%; and "aged" is aged for 18 months and has an alcohol content of 45%.
