Vodka for the weekend: FIN LAP Arctic
The story: A new name coming from the far north of Europe, FIN LAP Arctic Vodka. The vodka is based on glacier water that was collected underground, goes through triple distillation, and includes a delicate touch of forest honey, which gives it a smooth and balanced character.
How it feels: The aroma is clean and fresh, the sip is especially smooth, and the finish is delicate and not harsh.
Drinking recommendation: Chilled and neat, and if in cocktails, then the kind that will give it the respect it deserves, otherwise it will disappear. Someone said a vodka martini?
Price: 149 shekels per liter. Credit for the accessible pricing. Until the end of June, the vodka will be on sale for only 129 shekels per bottle.

Wine for the weekend: Tushia Winery, Talya Rosé
The story: Tushia Winery, located in the settlement of Be’er Milka on the Egyptian border, says it represents a connection between desert land, education, local agriculture and meticulous winemaking. The area’s unique climate conditions, hot days and cool nights, allow balanced ripening and the creation of wines with depth, freshness and a distinct local character.
How it feels: “Talya” is a dry rosé based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Muscat Hamburg. On the nose, there are bursts of strawberry, citrus blossom and fresh summer fruit that make you want to drink it very cold. On the palate, there is a pleasant balance between freshness and juicy fruit, with precise acidity and a clean finish. An elegant rosé, the kind you bring to a meal to impress.
Price: 108 shekels
