We love Vodka
Vodka is definitely my choice in hard liquors. It mixes great with many juice and liquors and makes for a GREAT cocktail. For the most part, it’s easy to find, can be inexpensive, and is easy to flavor with other ingredients.
What can I mix with vodka?
There are so many different things you can mix with vodka to make a great cocktail recipe. Here are some of our favorite “mixers” or non-alcoholic ingredients that are great mixed with vodka by itself.
- cranberry juice
- orange juice
- citrus
- ginger beer
- tonic water
- soda water
- lemonade
What alcohol goes with vodka?
Other alcohols that mix well with vodka include rum, sake, bitters, and liqueurs like Chambord and schnapps.
What is the best vodka for cocktails?
Choosing the right vodka for you is all about preference. How much do you want to spend and how smooth do you want your vodka to go down? Typically the smoother the vodka, the more expensive. Here are our 3 favorites in different price ranges.
- Titos
- Prairie
- Sky
Can you drink vodka straight?
Yes you can drink vodka straight. Sometimes people will order vodka on the rocks (or vodka over ice) or even a straight shot of vodka. We’re not saying this is our favorite way to drink vodka, but people definitely do it!
What’s the best low-calorie vodka drink?
If you’re looking to order a lower calorie vodka drink, we suggest ordering a vodka soda with a lime wedge. This is what I order at weddings/bars, so I don’t get gut rot with all of the sugary juices you can mix with vodka.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz. vodka any brand will work
- 4.5 oz. juice any kind
- 2 handfuls of ice divided
- splash soda water
- citrus wedge
Instructions
- Place vodka, your choice of juice, and a handful of ice into a drink shaker.
- Put the top on and shake until combined.
- Fill a glass up with ice and pour the vodka cocktail into the glass. Then, add a splash of soda water. Serve with a citrus wedge such as lime, lemon, or orange.
Tips & Notes
- For the nutrition information, we calculated it with orange juice as the juice.
- A moderately strong vodka cocktail is 1:3, vodka to juice. If you want a stronger drink, you can do a 1:2 ratio and for something lighter a 1:4 ratio.
