Vodka also known as happy water for fun people who think they're dancing well but aren't.
It sure comes with some really amazing cocktails since it has a super clean and neutral taste that can be paired with just about anything (except cola, if you order vodka-cokes, your bartender is judging you). Let's check out the 5 best mixes!
Caesar and the Kitchen Sink
The Caesar is one of the most scrutinized and competitive vodka drinks out there, but we're confident we make the best one.
The Recipe- 1.5 oz Habanero Vodka
- 3 dashes of lemon pepper bitters
- 0.5 oz pickle brine
- 0.5 oz garlic olive brine
- 3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 dash tabasco and salt
- Half teaspoon horseradish
- Clamato juice
Rim a Caesar glass with a dynamic rimmer containing celery salt, bacon seasoning, Montreal steak spice, etc. Add ice, then add all the ingredients and stir. Garnish with a skewer of olive, pickle, lime, and bacon.
Old Glory
The Old Glory is an interpretive and refreshing drink with many variations. All of them are fruity, including ours. It's similar to a sangria or vodka bramble. Yum.
The Recipe- 1 oz Blueberry Vodka
- 1 oz Raspberry Vodka
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 1.5 oz merlot
- Black cherry wine seltzer
- 10 assorted berries
In a shaker, muddle the berries, add ice and the vodkas and lemon juice. Strain over fresh ice into a rocks glass and add wine, finishing with a seltzer top-up. Garnish with a cherry.
Apple Cider Mule
Citrus and ginger are reminiscent of holiday cooking and complimentary apple and cinnamon profiles add to the experience, and should be enjoyed any time of the year!
The Recipe- 2 oz Apple Cinnamon Vodka
- Half a fresh lime
- 1.5 oz Apple cider
- Ginger beer
In a copper Moscow Mule mug, stir all the ingredients with ice. Top up with ginger beer and throw a lime wedge in the mug with a sprig of mint for garnish.
Dark Espresso Martini
This espresso cocktail will impresso you. Sorry, bad pun. But seriously, who doesn't love a pick-me-up and a shot in a fancy glass?
The Recipe- 1.5 oz Vodka
- 0.5 oz Coffee Liqueur
- 0.5 oz Dark Chocolate Liqueur
- 1 oz espresso

Cool your espresso and chill a martini glass offside. Meanwhile, in a shaker, combine all the ingredients, along with the cooled brew, and shake vigorously to form a foam. Strain into a cold martini glass and garnish with coffee beans.

The Cosmopolitan is a staple vodka cocktail, and it just got better! Why settle for mundane when you can have explosive flavor?
The Recipe- 1.5 oz Pomegranate Vodka
