Stolichnaya
Latvian-produced Russian vodka
Stolichnaya is a brand of Russian vodka, often shortened to Stoli.
The name means "capital city" in Russian, referring to Moscow.
Like Absolut or Grey Goose, it functions as a premium vodka marker: She ordered a Stoli and tonic.
The brand became entangled in ownership disputes and geopolitical controversy following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
