5 Ways You Can Enjoy Vodka

A wise man once said vodka goes with just about anything. It’s a true statement, but some things work way better than others. Vodka offers the perfect backbone for any number of drinks. Better still, you don’t need a PhD in mixology to enjoy its versatility.

Stereotypes say the clear spirit is only suitable for shots straight out of the freezer or sipped as a Vodka Martini or alongside some caviar. These things are accurate as far as they go, but that doesn’t fully explain vodka’s vast potential.

We’ve assembled a go-to list of the possible best ways to sip vodka when you are thirsty. They range from the well-known to the unexpected, and everything in between. So, take the leash off your favourite bottle of vodka and let it run free, mingling in the glass with these great options.

1. Enjoy your vodka straight

Pure vodka tastes fairly neutral and has a full-bodied mouthfeel. One common way to drink this alcoholic beverage is to take shots of vodka from shot glasses at room temperature. When drinking high-quality vodkas, consider sipping the liquid slowly from a tumbler glass.

2. Enjoy your vodka chilled.

Chilled vodka has less bite and a slightly thicker texture. Place ice cubes in a tumbler with vodka or place a bottle of vodka in the freezer until it is ice-cold before serving.

3. Mix your vodka into a cocktail.

Use vodka in a mixed drink to enhance its flavour and dilute the drink’s alcohol content. Some popular vodka cocktails are simple, such as a vodka tonic with tonic water, while others are more complicated and require several ingredients. Vodka pairs well with a variety of juices, including orange juice, lime juice, grapefruit juice, and lemon juice.

4. Infuse your vodka with flavour.

Although flavoured vodka is available in stores, you can make your own infused vodka drinks by pouring vodka into a sealable glass jar along with other ingredients. Popular ingredients for vodka infusion include thyme, cucumber, coconut, mint, and blackberries. For a sweeter option, place a handful of gummy candies into a glass jar of vodka. After several hours, retrieve the gummies for a sweet, alcohol-infused treat.

5. Drink your vodka alongside traditional foods. 

In some countries of the world, straight vodka is typically served alongside appetizers. Try pairing food with your vodka to complement its flavour. Some foods that work well alongside vodka include sausages, salmon, fresh cucumbers, olives, and pickles.
