The AVIV 613 Vodka Side Shot

At AVIV 613 Vodka, we believe in celebrating life’s moments with intention and gratitude. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Side Shot—a new tasting ritual designed to help you experience the pure essence of our ultra-smooth vodka before enjoying it as part of your favorite cocktail.

What Is a Side Shot?

A Side Shot is a small 20-30ml serving of AVIV 613 Vodka, poured to let you savor the spirit on its own before drinking your cocktail. Whether you’re at home with friends and family or dining out at your favorite restaurant, asking for an AVIV 613 Vodka Side Shot adds an extra layer of refinement and intention to your evening.

This experience begins with a moment of pause—a chance to appreciate the vodka’s delicate notes of wheat, barley, olives, figs, dates, grapes, and pomegranates, as well as its unmatched smoothness. The Side Shot invites you to take a breath, make a heartfelt toast, and enjoy the spirit in its purest form before it enhances your cocktail.

How to Enjoy the Side Shot: The Ritual

  1. The Pour: Whether served at your table or your home bar, your AVIV 613 Side Shot should be poured into a small glass—enough for two to three sips. This is your opportunity to engage all your senses.
  2. The Smell: Hold the glass up, swirl gently, and take in the bouquet of AVIV’s unique blend of ingredients. Notice the hints of fruit and grains mingling in the aroma.
  3. The Sip: Slowly take your first sip, letting the vodka roll over your palate. The silky smoothness and slightly sweet finish will reveal themselves, showcasing the craftsmanship that sets AVIV 613 apart.
  4. The Toast: Before finishing your Side Shot, take a moment to make a special toast. This is the heart of the AVIV 613 experience—a time to express gratitude and acknowledge the good things in life. Whether you’re toasting to loved ones, a recent accomplishment, or simply the joy of being present in the moment, the toast sets the tone for the evening.
  5. Ideas for a Toast:
    • To Family and Friends: Celebrate the people who make your life richer.
    • To Health and Happiness: A wish for continued well-being and joy.
    • To New Beginnings: Recognize life’s transitions—big or small—and the potential they bring.
    • To Gratitude: Simply give thanks for something meaningful in your life right now.
  6. The Enjoyment: After the toast, savor the rest of your Side Shot. Then, allow AVIV 613 Vodka to elevate your cocktail, whether it’s a martini, mule, or any other favorite.
