Planning a festive party? Here are the best vodka drinks to serve up.

‘Tis the season to be jolly! And you can’t be in a proper celebratory mood without a holiday drink in hand, so here are our recommendations if you’re looking to put together some vodka drinks for your upcoming festive parties.

The first step in creating an amazing vodka drink for the holidays is choosing the right base for your cocktail. If you’re using Absolut Vodka as your base spirit, we recommend starting with the original flavour. It can be used in all the cocktails described below.

Moscow Mule

The Moscow Mule is a classic vodka drink that is perfect for any occasion. All you need is some Absolut Vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. Simply combine the ingredients in a glass and enjoy!

For some more zing, try adding a splash of cranberry juice or using ginger ale instead of ginger beer.

Espresso Martini

The best espresso martinis are made by combining two parts vodka with one part espresso coffee liqueur and then adding ice cubes. The story for how the espresso martini was invented was a supermodel walked up to a bartender and said “Can you please make something that will wake me up and then f**k me up?”

Cosmopolitan

This delicious drink is perfect for any ladies’ night or happy hour. All you need is some Absolut Vodka, cranberry juice, Cointreau, and lime juice. Simply combine the ingredients in a glass and enjoy! Choose from a martini glass or a rocks glass – whichever you prefer.

If you want to add even more flavor to your cosmopolitan, try muddling a few raspberries or blackberries in the glass before adding the other ingredients.

Lemon Drop Martini

A Lemon Drop Martini is the perfect drink for any vodka lover who enjoys a little sweetness. All you need is some Absolut Vodka, lemon juice, sugar, and ice. Simply combine the ingredients in a shaker and strain them into a martini glass.

For an extra special touch, rim the glass with sugar before adding the cocktail.

Chocolate Cake Martini

This martini is like having dessert in a glass! All you need is some Absolut Vanilla vodka, Godiva chocolate liqueur, and heavy cream. Making it is simple, just combine the ingredients in a shaker and strain it into a martini glass.

For an extra added detail, try decorating the rim of the glass with chocolate syrup before adding the cocktail.

Mojito

This classic Cuban cocktail is perfect for any summer party. More commonly made with tequila, but you can use vodka as well! All you need is some Absolut Vodka, mint leaves, lime juice, sugar, and soda water. Simply combine the ingredients in a glass and enjoy.

For those that want a sweeter profile, muddle a few raspberries or blackberries in the glass before adding the other ingredients.

Is Vodka a Safe Liquor?

Any liquor can be dangerous if consumed in excess, but vodka is no more dangerous than any other type of alcohol. In moderation, vodka is a safe liquor to consume. It’s always best to follow the CDC guidelines for alcohol consumption, which recommend no more than two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women.

Vodka is one of the most popular liquors on the market for a reason – it is versatile and delicious. Whether you are looking for a classic cocktail or something new and exciting, there is a vodka drink out there for you. So, grab your favourite bottle of Absolut and get mixing!
