Here at Strange Daze Indeed, I’m always on the lookout for the unusual, the unique, the odd, so Oddka Vodka really caught my imagination.
Premium wine and spirits company Pernod Ricard launched a new brand of vodka, Oddka, by Wyborowa in October 2012. Currently available in Alabama, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and my home state of Massachusetts, Oddka will be expanding its distribution nationally and globally in spring 2013.
To begin the oddness, the voice and inspiration for Oddka is Wit Oddoski, a virtual character in the real world. Wit had his inception as a 2-D line drawing, a rare and odd condition that leads him to view the world at a different angle than others. Check out the interview with Wit here:
I think Wit’s very happy seeing the world upside down and inside out.
Adding to the unusual, Oddka is available in original, clear vodka and also in five rather unconventional flavors.
The one that intrigues me the most is Fresh Cut Grass. When I was young, I used to take drives with my parents out into the country, and, when we would pass certain areas, you could smell new mown hay. That became one of my favorite scents along with the summertime memory of the grass after my dad had just mowed the lawn. Ah, sweet nostalgia!
It’s crisp, fresh, citrusy, sweet and refreshing and somehow Oddka has figured out how to bottle it! This is a taste that goes great with Ginger Ale, Sprite or Iced Tea. To ramp up the crisp taste, add cucumber, mint and lemon juice. There are so many variations. This would be great for outdoor summer parties.
But, they don’t stop there! No! Adding to drinks that you don’t merely taste but also experience, there is also Electricity which is described as “a bolt of lightning in a bottle – but safer” This surely sparks my curiosity as well. I’m thinking Halloween for this one. I’d mix it with Coca-Cola.
Next is Salty Caramel Popcorn. Slightly sweet, slightly salty, intriguing with a feel good ending. Mix with soda water, Fanta, or Ginger Ale.
They also have Apple Pie flavor for when you want apples and cinnamon and Grandma just isn’t in a pie-baking mood. I’d drink this for the holidays.
And then, just when you think things are cool again, along comes Wasabi flavor to heat up your tastebuds and add some spice to your life. I’ve always loved Wasabi, the way it clears my sinuses and wakes up my senses. This makes a great Bloody Mary and is fabulous with ginger ale.

These “odd” flavors of vodka sound really cool! I’ll be sure to try them out this summer if I can get them here. I have many friends across the country that would enjoy trying them.
apple pie flavor? Interesting!
Wasabi Bloody Mary? I’m in!
I LOVE Vodka! I hadn’t heard about this brand yet, I need to check them out!
I’m not a vodka drinker,but if I were I’d try the apple pie.
Salty Carmel Popcorn sounds so good. I will have to look for this.
I don’t drink, but I have to admit Salty Caramel Popcorn sounds amazing!
I love flavored vodkas – I usually mix raspberry with sprite. The fresh cut grass sounds interesting! I’ll have to look out for this brand.
I haven’t heard of this brand but I can’t wait to try it!
Salty Caramel Popcorn sounds awesome! I’m not quite sure about Fresh Cut Grass though… 😉
Wasabi flavored vodka? Sounds very odd!
I really don’t know what to think about that Fresh Cut Grass but the Apple Pie sounds pretty tempting!
I like the imagery.
those are certainly “odd”
I’m not a vodka drinker but I use to be
What does the grass flavor taste like?
I love vodka, not so sure about these different tastes.
Sounds interesting!
Cannot imagine a wasabi flavor, but I’m very intrigued by the Lightning in a bottle and Salted Caramel. Never heard of this vodka but love the idea…I can see some interesting drink combinations.

Woah wasabi flavored? I’ll have to try that!
Definitely different and its piqued my interest… The flavours are unique. Thank you for the review, I’ll be sure to try to find a bottle.
Hmm…This is so strange….but i love it! I am one for odd things, so I definitely appreciate the unique flavours. Fresh Cut Grass would be my first try. My husband would probably go for the wasabi first.
I love it! Great idea I’m a lover of all things odd too! Gonna have to look for it next time I’m shopping for some alcohol
This sounds too odd to pass up, I must try this vodka.
Oh this sounds so weirdly cool. Vodka is just about the only alcohol I’ll drink so I might have to look this up!!

Wow, these seem really cool…totally going to check out the next time I’m at Total Wine or a liquor store!
How cool! I totally want to try the Salty Caramel Popcorn. I am going to get this as a gift for somebody if I can find it. Thanks for the review!
I had to tell my daughter about this…. she was really intrigued. Neither of us had ever heard of this brand before.
I haven’t heard of this brand, but I will look for it next time I’m at the ABC store. 🙂
What a unique take on Vodka I never could have imagined, I’m not a huge drinker but the Fresh Cut Grass intrigues me. I’m also a sucker for cool/fun packaging. Thank you for the review 🙂 (Raine on rafflecopters)
Oddka Vodka sounds interesting. I don’t think I’d care for the caramel popcorn one but the wasabi sounds great. I love bloody mary’s and this would kick it up a notch. I’ll have to look for it next time I’m in PA. Thanks for a unique find. I like unusual things too.
I think I want to try all of them! I am super intrigued.
Pretty odd. Or should I say unique. I personally can’t drink vodka. I’ll take your word on it.
last time i drank vodka i woke up in the monkey cage at the zoo,,,but thanks
Apple pie.. sounds yummy
I dont drink either but know many who do the vodka thing. Boy what they dont think of as far as flavors – wasabi – wooh oh my : 0
Apple Pie vodka, sounds good. I must tell my husband

This is so funny. I am going to give some of the Fresh Cut Grass vodka to my brother-in-law; he will love it!
Oh my gosh such flavors of Oddka Vodka . I dont drink vodka but some of them sound like they would be good. I dont know about the fresh cut grass – I’d rather just smell it LOL
ive never heard of this brand– but it sounds really fun!
I’d like the Grass flavor with ginger ale – good combination.

Apple pie vodka sounds delish!
Add me to the Apple Pie list!
I am not a drinker but if I was I would taste the apple pie
I would love to try Apple Pie!!
I would try the salty caramel popcorn flavor.
Wasabi vodka…I just might have to go find that one to go with my sushi instead of plum wine! LOL
Ok, now my friends have been drinking all kinds of flavored vodkas. I can’t believe they have a salty caramel popcorn flavor.
Fresh cut grass sounds interesting…I used to have a lotion in that scent and loved it!
Wow, that wasabi must be intense!
I have not heard of this Vodka but I hope some day they sell it in Maryland…the flavors seem unique and delicious.
This sounds like such a fun brand of Vodka. I’m intrigued by the Wasabi Bloody Mary. That really does sound awesome. Thank you for the review, hopefully they have started selling this brand here in Florida by now 🙂
Salty Caramel Popcorn vodka sounds very good. I will look for it in my store. my significant other would like the apple pie
They have not distributed to NC yet that I am aware of. Fresh Cut Grass blows me away but I don’t think that is one I would try. On the other hand, Apple Pie sounds awesome! Perhaps with a dash of cinnamon schnapps as a shot? I will keep my out of for this brand! Pretty cool name and flavors, would be a great gift!
I use to have an occasional drink with vodka but haven’t in a very long time. I think I’d like the apple pie since I really love everything about apple pie and it being my favorite.
These do sound really fun. The Salty Caramel Popcorn must be great.
Salty Caramel Popcorn sounds oddly intriguing.I am not much of a vodka drinker but I think I would like this!
