Mixed Drinks with Vodka

That is a Kamikaze? I guess you learn something new everyday.

I would take the above, up the lime juice to 1 oz and add 1 oz of cranberry juice for a Cosmo.

Sometimes I just mix the vodka and Cranberry juice because I am lazy. It is good too.

As you can see from all the posts vodka really can be mixed with anything.

Another vote from the don’t mask it.

Nicely chilled, twist of lemon, water back. MHO is that you have to sip it, gently, slowly, let your mouth feel it, you brain sense it. This is not a beer or a soda that you down heedlessly, this is an experience mmmmmmmmm vodka…

If ya havta mask it well, less really is more. Maybe one part cranberry juice, one part water.

Full disclosure: I’ve never actually made one. I don’t usually do mixed drinks (I’m a beer and straight whiskey kind of guy), but I’ve had them in bars. They’re deliciously tart and refreshing.

I got that recipe from a website. Looking around a bit though, I see that other sites call for different ratios. I think the 1 tsp. of lime juice refers to concentrated lime juice. Other sites say use 1 ounce (2:1:1). Other sites say equal parts of each. I guess some experimentation is called for.

And

in the same paragraph made me giggle like a schoolgirl :slight_smile:

I’m partial to what is called a “bay breeze”

Vodka with pineapple juice and a splash of cranberry juice. Tasty and you get your vitamin C. :slight_smile:

Vodka and Peach Nehi.

Seabreeze: Vodka, equal parts cranberry and grapefruit juice.

If grapefruit juice is too tart, try orange juice instead.

But I’m with the sipped from the freezer group.

Another good one but it might be too strong for you would be Lemon Drops.

Take a lemon slice ( D ) , sprinkle with sugar. Drink a shot of vodka, then bite the sugared lemon. Yum!

Now, now this is good vodka according to the OP.
Khadaji what didn’t you like about having the Vodka straight?

If it was lack of flavour, try mixing vodka at 8 parts vodka to 1 part any sweet liquor that you like the taste of. Or try making a Vodka Martini if you like really dry drinks.

If it was too strong, mix with Tonic if you like Tonic, or make Vodka Margaritas (Vodka, Triple Sec, and Lime juice) or (Vodka, Triple Sec, and Lemon Juice)

I don’t know any other mixes that take advantage of this being good vodka.
Bippy, the imbiber

Now I don’t know whether to go all Joe Pesci on you, or drown my bruised dignity with a tart and refreshing mixed drink.

Let’s see, which is less work?..

Use Ocean Spray White Cranberry/Strawberry juice and thank me later!
