Vodka - what to drink it with?

48 replies

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 30/05/2026 16:22

As it says. I’ve got a bottle but don’t really drink it now. I used to drink it with lemonade and lime, and also with orange juice. I don’t think I liked it with tonic water (though I love gin and tonic). I could do Sea Breezes with it I suppose (drink of my mid 20s). Any other ideas?

Moscow Mule (ginger beer and lime) or a bloody Mary?

Stoicandhappy · 30/05/2026 16:25

Diet Coke

Diet Coke and plenty of ice and a slice of lime.

I like a nice flavoured soda water with it, really like the Fever Tree blood orange soda and the raspberry and orange blossom soda water

Bloody Mary for breakfast 😊

CieloElmers · 30/05/2026 16:28

Cranberry Juice with a dash of lime.

Pepsi Max.

Its lovely with sparkling water and elderflower cordial and a slice of lemon. We've also drinking it with cloudy lemonade (soda stream) in the warm weather.

Lime and lemonade

That sounds good, but Pepsi Max was my usual.

Some of the Fevertree tsoda waters are delicious. There's lime, blood orange, rhubarb...

Or just with soda water and then the juice of fresh lime squeezed in. And maybe a dash of cointreau. Or make a French Martini (vodka + chambord + pineapple juice)

Pink lemonade

BertieBotts · 30/05/2026 16:51

It's actually really nice with apple juice, especially Polish vodka.

ruethewhirl · 30/05/2026 16:52

More vodka. (Kidding 😄)

Ponderingwindow · 30/05/2026 16:55

Put it in the freezer so it is super cold. Serve with a bit of olive brine and several olives.

Blue cheese olives are another variation.

I did a couple of years ago have an ex alcoholic male friend of mine swear by a shot of vodka for getting over a hangover. Yikes.

In this weather, add Malibu, lemonade, lots of ice and a dash of lime 😋

That does sound tasty. I’ve only ever had Malibu with pineapple juice and in cocktails.

I never knew Moscow mule was that simple. Used to drink the bottled drinks in my early 20s.

Full fat coke, never diet.

Irn Bru. Fabulous.

Good quality orange juice (rather than the cheap stuff I usually buy for drinking).

GhoulWithADragonTattoo · 30/05/2026 17:09

Orange juice…

SoScarletItWas · 30/05/2026 17:09

Vodka, soda water, lime. Less sweet than lemonade and you might like it as you like gin and tonic.

Ginger and lime. Love a Moscow Mule.
