Cocktails with Vodka

Vodka is a neutral spirit, typically around 40% ABV, distilled from grain, potatoes or other raw materials. Its clean, restrained flavour lets other ingredients lead, so it suits long drinks, sours and stirred classics alike. Kept in the freezer, it becomes slightly more viscous, handy for a very cold martini. 7 cocktails on YouCocktail use Vodka: classic recipes with exact quantities, method, strength and swaps.
