Friends are the \u2018family\u2019 we choose. Celebrate those friendships on International Friendship Day on 30 July. Started as long ago as 1958, this day to nurture friendships was recognised by the United Nations in 2011. Across the world it\u2019s a day to thank and recognise the people who make us laugh, show us loyalty, are there during the good and bad times, and generally help make life the best it can be. There is no better way to celebrate the day than with a drink whose name, in translation, is \u2018friend\u2019: TOVARITCH! Vodka<\/a>. \u00a0Whether you send your friends bottles of this premium, European vodka to tell them how much you appreciate them or invite your best friends for cocktails is a matter of choice.<\/p>\n
