Vodka - what to drink it with?

48 replies

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?

I quite like it with some kind of interesting flavoured soda or tonic. Fentimans rhubarb and raspberry or blood orange are nice

Cranberry and raspberry juice with a sprig of mint

Bloody Mary with lots of tabasco, Worcester sauce, lemon and a stick of celery.

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.

Hair of the dog. It works.

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

This weather?
Cloudy, dull and damp?

You cannot beat this

Long Vodka (with Angostura Bitters)
Ingredients

  • 50ml vodka
  • Juice of half a lime (or 25ml fresh lime juice)
  • 2–4 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Lemonade (or diet lemonade)
  • Ice
Method
  1. Fill a tall glass with ice.
  2. Add the vodka.
  3. Add the lime juice.
  4. Add 2–4 dashes of Angostura bitters.
  5. Top up with lemonade and stir gently.

Oh I found some angostura recently and was gonna make some long vodka. I dont think England do them in general though. I asked for one when I first moved to England and got a double vodka. Staple of the 90s in Scotland.

I have mine with soda water and fresh lime juice (half the lime!).
If I could handle the caffeine and the calories I would always have it with proper Coke. But I can’t so I only ever have one on holiday and it feels absolutely decadent beyond my wildest dreams 😂

I love a Lemon Drop Martini, but that is a cocktail, rather than a mixer added to vodka!
AI tells me: A lemon martini, often referred to as a Lemon Drop Martini, is a cocktail made with vodka, fresh lemon juice, orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec), and simple syrup, typically served in a glass with a sugared rim. This drink is known for its sweet and tart flavor, making it a refreshing choice for lemon lovers.

Add cranberry juice and lime for a Cosmopolitan! Or just diet coke, ice and a slice of lime - delicious 😋

I’ve had that before out a couple of times. Couldn’t taste the vodka mind you!
