An alternative to Vodka to pair with caviar With some Russian friends coming I intend upon serving caviar in the correct manner.  Here is a link to The Telegraph's idea of what I should be doing as far as the caviar is concerned.  However I know that my friends do not like Vodka!  What other alcoholic drink can I serve, yet keep the Russian feel?

Here's the caviar - now what to drink?
Your main criterion, especially if you are serving sturgeon caviar, should be something to freshen the palate without leaving a strong aftertaste. 

A brut champagne goes exceptionally well. If keeping the Russian theme is important and you have a good eastern European shop at hand, you could try to get a Russian or Ukrainian Шампанское. Be aware that many Russian and Ukrainian wines tend to be much sweeter than a western European would expect; make sure it is Брют / Brut, and ideally try a bottle before serving it.
