Spicy Bloody Mary | Lavender Mule | Dirty Martini | Cucumber Cosmo
Vodka may be known for its neutrality, but it's a cocktail chameleon—ready to take on bold spices, floral infusions, or garden-fresh twists. If you're tired of the same old vodka soda or Moscow Mule, it's time to elevate your glass. These four reinvented classics bring out vodka’s creative side, making them perfect for cocktail nights, brunches, or just impressing yourself.
