by Michele on June 25th, 2010
Fourth of July is a week from this Sunday. Have you begun planning your celebration?
What time will the party begin? Who will you invite? What food will you serve?

In addition, this vodka also has been certified as kosher by The Orthodox Union. There aren't many vodkas...
