Wodka

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Coffee Liqueur

This is one you definitely won't see at your standard Thursday night pre-party (in person or on the wet bar).  Probably more of a fixture in a creepy Eastern European town where Vampires and other fictitious characters roam.  Mix WÓDKA™ Vodka and Coffee Liqueur; put about half as much coffee liqueur as WÓDKA™ Vodka in a smaller glass over ice.

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Cranberry Juice

Cranberry juice is a no-brainer to add to any vodka drink and a necessity in your refrigerator.  Straight, Gay, Male or Female…..you might as well quit now if you fuck this one up.  Heavy or weak pour and throw a lime on there if you have it and want to seem more polished than you actually are.

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Water
Two Lemons
One Lime

She had us at hello and loved us when no one even knew us. Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Megan Fox...you're all welcome to sip from the magical WÓDKA™ spout but we only have eyes for our Ms. Celeste. In her honor we give you the Celestial – Grab a rocks glass, add WÓDKA™, water, squeeze in a couple lemons and a lime.

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Grapefruit Juice

Just plain cool. Cocktail junkies equate this to "spiked juice;" urban legend traces its origin back to the American Bar in London in the 1930's.  WÓDKA™ Vodka, Grapefruit Juice and Ice – No B.S. – just like us.  You can also salt the rim to create a "Salty Dog" and easily add another option to your personal drink menu.

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Lemon Juice
Sugar
 
This is a stand by for a couple of reasons. First, for the guys, you can't hate on any shot you can take without possibly gagging. Second, great shot for women – easy, sweet and involves licking the edge of the glass. Equal parts WÓDKA™ and lemon juice with enough sugar added to make it as sweet as you like. If you want to be fancy, wet the shot glass rim and dip it in sugar (caution, if you are a male serving to other males, we suggest avoiding this step as you may give your buddy the wrong idea – or simply call out "No Homo").

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Ice Cubes made from Fiji Natural Artesian Water.
 
This one comes from our favorite Jew Jetter.  Whether he's snapping photos of the incoherent Olsen sisters in first class or sporting his favorite duds at Polo in the Hampton's, we all know that JRL will definitely have a WÓDKA™ Vodka on the rocks in his hand (ice cubes must be made from bottled water….anything else just wouldn't be civilized).

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Cranberry Juice
OJ
 
Where this one got lost amongst all the other great drinks is a mystery – maybe it's too close to what red headed fraternity guys used to call their peckers in the 90's thinking they were cool.  Who knows…..all we do know is that it's funny to say, easy to go down and uses simple mixers.  Mix WÓDKA™ Vodka with Cranberry Juice and OJ – heavier on the Cranberry than the OJ.

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Orange Juice

How can one not pay homage to the king of the "at home" drink. This was clearly invented before the discovery of the Bloody Mary; probably by some poor guy who woke up in the morning with a naked Sherpa in his bed and a head that felt like a bunch of Irish women we're Riverdancing on it. As we all know this one made it out of the breakfast drink pigeon hole to emerge as the go to for uncreative but desperate drinkers around the world. Wodka, OJ, Ice. Congratulations Screwdriver, we love you.

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Cranberry Juice
Grapefruit Juice
 
While the name itself is terrible, this one actually has a little bite to it:  WÓDKA™ Vodka and Grapefruit with a splash, maybe two, of Cranberry.  We don't have the balls to yell "SEA BREEZE" in a public place but a great drink to mix at home when you can just tell people not to worry about what it's called.  If you have it, lime is the best garnish to use, especially if you want to look like you actually know what you're doing in front of your favorite female "friends."

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Peach Schnapps
Cranberry Juice
Grapefruit Juice

The Sex on the Beach can be recognized as the Unicorn of the cocktail world. We think it exists, but no one has actually ever seen it. Add WODKA & Peach Schnapps to a highball glass, topping off with equal parts of grapefruit and cranberry. Now take a sip, hop on your mythical beast and ride down the rainbow to the sound of Manilow's Copacabana – who knows, Lola (or Rico) may give you some Polish Luvin'.

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Lime Juice
Soda Water
Triple Sec or Cointreau
Mint

The Southside is about as close to a 'cocktail' as you'll see on our list of favorite drinks but when you learn it was 'born' in Chicago during Prohibition and was the drink of choice among gangsters, it's hard not to include.  It's not the drink's fault that it has been adopted by society junkies – it tastes amazing and is cool as hell to serve to your friends.  Our version calls for equal parts WÓDKA™ Vodka and Lime Juice, about half that much Soda Water and topped off with Triple Sec or Cointreau.  You need to shake in 5 or 10 mint leaves OR, while blasphemous to some, a little mint liqueur or mint essence - we live in reality and fresh mint isn't just lying around.

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Club Soda
 
THE Classic; equal parts of each and throw a lime in there if you have one.  Mix to Taste.

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Dry Vermouth

Nothing intimidates me more than a gal that goes straight to the Wodka martini, other than one that's over 40, rocking the blue eye shadow and growling like a – well you know. Throw in a splash of dry vermouth and pour in a couple ounces of Wodka chilled. Garnish with a couple olives and pray that she doesn't want to be the "man" in your relationship.

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Any Lemon Lime Soda
 
For those that need something a little sweeter than soda or rocks, this is the call.  We can't promise that you won't get made fun of, but it goes down like nothing.  Mix to Taste.

WÓDKA™ Vodka
Wed Bull
 
Try saying it three times fast and you'll get it.  The only thing to drink when you need a kick in the ass to find your A game.  Mix to taste (if it's too clear, it's clearly as ass kicker).
