There’s nothing better than a soiree with booze, friends, and good food.
But what if you have to suffer through the same old cocktails? Why not mix it up with some new vodka drinks? In this post we’ll highlight 8 classic cocktails and their recipes that will make your next event one worth remembering. We’ll also go over why Pristine Vodka is the best vodka for your drinks. So read on and get ready to party!
Back to Basics
The first drink on our list is the basic martini. This cocktail is a classic for a reason, and Pristine Vodka makes it even better. Just mix equal parts vodka and vermouth in a shaker with ice, strain into a chilled glass, and you’re good to go!
Another great vodka cocktail to try is the Vesper Martini. It was created by Ian Fleming for his book Casino Royale and named after his love interest in the novel, Vesper Lynd. This drink is made with gin, vodka, and Lillet Blanc (a type of aperitif wine) and has become one of the most popular martini drinks.
The Screwdriver is a classic cocktail that consists of vodka and orange juice. It’s simple to make and perfect for enjoying on a hot day. The citrusy flavor of the orange juice pairs well with the smoothness of the vodka, making for a refreshing drink that will leave you feeling refreshed and satisfied. If you’re looking for something easy and refreshing, this cocktail is a great choice.
Next up is the Moscow Mule. It is a great twist on the classic vodka cocktail. This drink was created in 1941 and it’s made with ginger beer, lime juice, and vodka. It got its name because copper mugs (which were used to serve the drink) were popular in Russia at the time. And, in fact, these are still the glassware of choice when serving a Moscow Mule.
A Touch of Class
Vodka sodas are a popular choice for cocktails because they are light, refreshing, and easy to make. Vodka is a versatile spirit when paired with a variety of mixers, making it the perfect base for cocktails. Soda provides a bubbly contrast to the vodka and creates a drink that is both thirst-quenching and satisfying. Whether you are looking for an easy drink to enjoy on a hot day or something to take to your next party, vodka sodas are a great choice.
You can also try a vodka and lemonade cocktail called a Greyhound, which is made with two parts vodka to one part grapefruit juice (the traditional recipe uses lime juice). This drink was actually created by accident in 1921 when an Englishman named Joe Rose forgot his gin on his way home from the pub. His wife, Kitty Gordon, found it and tasted the drink he made with his vodka but without gin: a Greyhound!
Another great drink to try is the Bloody Mary. First, take vodka, add tomato juice, and a variety of seasonings that give it its characteristic flavor. It is perfect for brunch or a late-night snack and can be made either spicy or mild, depending on your preference.
And last but not least, we have the Long Island iced tea. Just combine vodka, gin, rum, tequila, triple sec and cola. It’s a good choice for parties because it makes quite a bit, so you can make many drinks from one batch. It’s also a great choice for those who like their cocktails sweet and strong.
So, there you have it!
