Vodka is a distilled spirit made from fermented cereal grains or potatoes. It’s a clear liquid that originated in Russia but has spread worldwide due to its popularity. 

Pure vodka is a great base liquor that pairs well with almost anything. Vodka is smooth enough that you can drink it on its own. But it is also the foundation of both sweet and savory cocktails!

What Are the Most Popular Cocktails?

Did you know that the martini has been around since 1849? Good things seem to get better over time. Even now, the martini is one of the most popular vodka cocktails and every bartender has their own twist. 

These are some of the most popular vodka cocktails: 

  • Moscow Mule
  • Lemon Drop Martini
  • Dirty Martini
  • Cosmopolitan
  • Sangria

What Is a Good Mixture With Vodka?

Vodka’s neutral flavor lends it well to paring with almost any flavor. Some cocktails are more savory, like the salty dirty martini. However, most vodka cocktails tend to be slightly sweet.

Vodka pairs well with fruits and citrus flavors. Some of the best mixers for vodka cocktails are juices!

What Is the Healthiest Mixer for Vodka? 

Vodka is one of the easiest liquors for fitting cocktails into your diet. If you mix vodka with soda water, you have a light beverage with very few calories!

You can also add a squeeze of lime to add a bit of a flavor. This is also a great way to enjoy quality vodkas without diluting the flavor with too many mixers. 

Two Ingredient Vodka Drinks

Some drinks need you to keep a lot of different mixers and bitters on hand. Luckily, you can easily mix up some quick and easy cocktails with just two ingredients. 

  • Cape Codder (vodka and cranberry)
  • Screwdriver (vodka and orange juice)
  • Tomato Juice and Vodka
  • Vodka and Grapefruit Juice
  • Tonic Water and Vodka
  • Voka and Apple Juice
  • Pineapple Juice and Vodka

We like 2 ounces vodka to 4-ounce juice and serve it over ice. The best part is that you can adjust this to make it exactly how you like!

It pairs well with almost any juice, so feel free to experiment with your favorite flavors! All of these options make for wonderful vodka cocktails for summer.
