strange spirits

[substitute]

At the fancy grocery store they had a vodka of Armenian origin, and the label listed the following additives:

acetic acid
sodium bicarbonate
dried skim milk
honey

What's this all about? Anyone know?

I found another vodka with similar recipe:

Acetic acid is vinegar, and sodium bicarbonate is baking soda. Therefore, the purpose is to MAKE A MILK AND HONEY VODKA VOLCANO like in the science fair.

And wasn't it The Who who said, "Armenia / City in the Sky."

They're ingredients but doubtful that it's in the final product. It's probably there for pH buffering purposes.
