The effervescence of sparkling wines and champagnes is what makes them so appealing, adding to their flavor in addition to simply providing a fun sensation on your tongue. What if there was a carbonated vodka that could provide the same bubbly experience for cocktail-lovers?
Vodka O2 will be released in the United States early next year. It is a sparkling vodka, made in Britain, that tastes like vodka and soda and can be used in any application where regular vodka is used. Similar in concept to how Zygo and Pink are caffeinated, saving drinkers from having to rely on calorie-laden energy drinks to get a buzz, Vodka O2 effectively eliminates a step from drink preparation, allowing more people to enjoy the spirit on its own.
The spirit is the only one in its category at the moment, although other distributors say that they have similar ones in the works, and has been in limited release in Canada and parts of Europe so far.

I would be interested to see how this can be applied
in recipes. Will have to wait and try it out once it hits the markets.

I wonder if it is carbonated with CO2 or oxygenated with O2? If it is oxygenated it could be a highly dangerous and explosive spirit. I wonder who will be the first person to be blown away by a burning shot? Any volunteers?

How can we contact a US sales rep for the brand? I would rather not call the UK.

What is the proof of this vodka? Is it compromised by adding carbonation?

What about using the vodka in cocktail shakers? How many blown off shaker lids will there be? It'll be interesting to hear about all of the great concerns put out here.

The article says, Vodka O2 uses a different process, basically a type of oxygenation as opposed to carbonation
