Vodka makes a great base for mixing as the purity of the spirit allows for a blank canvas for a beautiful blend of flavours to take hold rather than clash.

Drinks with vodka can be made at home just as easily as ordering at a bar. You can make a lot of these drinks in your kitchen. You can make these delicious vodka drinks at home with only a few ingredients. All you need is a cocktail shaker and some ice!

10 vodka drinks you can make in minutes

These are some of the things you will need:

  • Stir in a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper for taste.

  • 2 parts 60ml vodka
  • 1 part 90ml orange juice (freshly squeezed)

Vodka Gimlet

A great cocktail for showcasing the true versatility and taste of vodka is the classic Gimlet. A simple and refreshing cocktail the vodka gimlet is strong, sharp, and punchy from the fresh lime. A truly divine yet deceptively simple cocktail to have in your repertoire. Before embarking on this delicious classic cocktail we recommend keeping your vodka in the freezer to kick this up a notch.

METHOD

  • Add all ingredients apart from the garnish to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  • Secure tightly and vigorously shake for 10 seconds.
  • Stain into a chilled coupe glass or champagne saucer.
  • Garnish with a wheel of lime.

Moscow Mule

A Moscow Mule is a classic drink that combines the refreshing taste of ginger beer with the smoothness of vodka. This drink can be made with any type of liquor but it's traditionally made with vodka and ginger ale.

The most common ingredient in this cocktail is a lime wedge which adds a citrus flavour to your drink and helps to balance out any slight bitterness that might come from some liquors (such as gin).

If you're looking for something different than what's shown above, you can add lime juice instead of lime wedges if desired!

Simple Vodka and Soda Water

Mixing vodka and soda water is a great way to make a quick and delicious drink. It's also not too hard to do but there are some things you'll need to know before getting started.

If you’re looking for a sugar-free, low-calorie, but still delicious vodka cocktail try a vodka soda. If this is your chosen tipple, we would recommend craft vodka such as

Botanic Nº7 from Gattertop Drinks as you would want to bring out the natural flavour of your chosen vodka. Akin to gin, Botanic Nº7 is naturally flavoured with organic ingredients sourced from an English orchard. A subtly fragrant vodka Botanic No7 allows for the discovery of new flavours that don’t have to compete with a juniper base.

There are many options when choosing the flavour components that go into this cocktail, but a very simple way to elevate your vodka soda is with a thoughtfully placed garnish. Yes, the garnish does more than make your drink look pretty! Add something seasonal to your drink with berries and thyme in summer, a slice of pear or cranberries in winter, and sprigs of mint or lavender in spring. Each of these will impart a delicate flavour to vodka soda whilst also making it look beautiful.

Bay Breeze

The Bay Breeze is a simple but effective cocktail. It's easy to make, and it tastes great!

The simplicity of this vodka cocktail calls for the use of a high-quality, craft vodka such as Botanic No7 from Gattertop Drinks.

Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and lime juice to your glass of vodka before adding ice cubes and pouring over them. Make sure not to add any sugar syrup or other ingredients until after you've mixed everything—the sugar will cloud up your drink as soon as it hits the ice cubes!
