Some of the finest vodka drinks there exist are cocktails. Vodka on the rocks is too strong and any other vodka mixer is very common.
Classic vodka cocktails are most often very crisp and a good example of that is the cosmopolitan cocktail. It is intense but the delicious lemon matched with cranberry juice neutralizes it. Often people do not observe the alcohol in the beverage and end up rather tipsy as they go down so well. Most bars offer a large number of appetizers which is great because you must consume something if you plan on drinking a lot. Chips are a great choice as they ultimately absorb the alcohol in your stomach which is vital after a extended drinking session.
Some of the most tasty cocktails are gin or vodka based because they are most often simple enough to mix with a lot of ingredients. Some of the best vodka beverages are probably cosmo and zombie. The white lady cocktail and most lemon and gin based cocktails are a favourite for this month. Blending fruit with gin is flavorsome. Especially when shaken with ice and after putting in some basil or cucumber. The combo of gin and champagne is also flavorful. A lovely and very simple champagne cocktail is made from orange juice and champagne, although you could also use prosecco or cava.
There are millions of cocktail ingredients to buy but the most vital ones are lemon, sugar, cucumber, lime, egg-white, soda water, juice and ice. Don’t forget your chosen type of spirits. You also require a cocktail shaker because without one you cannot mix it properly and most drinks must be shaken and not stirred. A vodka martini is a great example of a cocktail that can be stirred as it is merely alcoholic. Some add a lemon twist or olive juice. I would not recommend to ever mix a cocktail without ice. Even if it is served up without ice it should still be mixed or shaken with ice.
