Vodka Cocktail Recipes

We love a good cocktail here at Love Tiki and we are particularly partial to new and adventurous Vodka Cocktail Recipes, so we thought we would share some of our favourite Vodka cocktail recipes and serving ideas with you!

Vodka is generally a distilled beverage composed primarily of water and ethanol, sometimes with traces of impurities and flavourings. Traditionally, vodka is made by the distillation of fermented cereal grains or potatoes, though some modern brands use other substances, such as fruits or sugar.

Vodka is traditionally drunk neat (not mixed with any water, ice, or other mixer), but at Love Tiki we like to add some flair and flavour, though it is often served chilled in the vodka belt countries (Belarus, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine). Vodka is also commonly used in cocktails and mixed drinks, such as a vodka martini, Cosmopolitan, vodka tonic, Screwdriver, Greyhound, Black or White Russian, and Bloody Mary.
