Simple, refreshing, and kissed with sweet fruits, the zipper is a stunning little sipper. It’s a short drink made with equal parts of Straight vodka, Chambord, and lemon-lime soda, though you can make it as tall as you like. Enjoy it any time of day, it’s particularly well-suited for happy hour and makes a great brunch pitcher drink with more soda.
An ideal after dinner drink, the espresso martini is an absolute delight. While there are a few recipes available, you’ll enjoy the double hit of coffee flavor in this one. It mixes Straight vodka with a coffee liqueur like Kahlua and a shot of cold espresso. White crème de cacao adds just a touch of chocolate that gives it a little more dimension.
For a slow sipping vodka cocktail, mix up the godmother. You’ll love the combination of Straight vodka and amaretto. It’s perfect when you want a satisfying nightcap that’s sweeter than whiskey on the rocks but not overindulgent.
One of the best cocktails for summer, the bliss on the beach is always a hit. There’s a lot of fruity flavors to love in this recipe. You’ll combine the bright flavors of orange juice and peach schnapps with the darker fruits of cranberry juice and crème de cassis (black currant). With Straight vodka as a base, it’s simply wonderful.
Vodka-based martinis fill cocktail menus, and there is no shortage of recipes to mix up. Yet, there is only one true vodka martini, and it is unbelievably simple. All you need for this drink is Straight vodka, dry vermouth, and bitters (plus a garnish like a lemon peel, if you’d like), making it nothing more than the classic gin martini with a vodka base. It is crisp, clean, and the best way to show off the top-shelf vodkas in your bar such as Straight Vodka.
