Pavel Chekov, arguing the merits of vodka
Vodka is a distilled alcoholic beverage served on Earth.
In 2255 in the Kelvin timeline, Cadet James T. Kirk brought a bottle of Stolichnaya vodka to Viktor Tikhonov, his rival at Starfleet Academy. (TOS - Starfleet Academy novel: The Gemini Agent)
Vodka was one of Pavel Chekov's favorite beverages, and he took some good-natured ribbing from Montgomery Scott over his choice of drink. (TOS episode: "The Trouble with Tribbles")
In 2370, Q sipped vodka in a holographic representation of the Black Sea at Night aboard the USS Enterprise-D, while observing Deanna Troi and Worf. (TNG novelization: All Good Things...)
In 2375, Julian Bashir ordered a vodka martini while playing cards at a holographic casino belonging to Frankie Eyes. (DS9 episode: "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang")
- In the episode, Bashir ordered his drink "stirred, not shaken," which is a tribute to James Bond, who frequently orders a vodka martini "shaken, not stirred." It seems likely that the drink Bashir made for himself in "Our Man Bashir", an episode which borrowed many Bond themes, was also a vodka martini.
