For today’s episode we partnered up with Wheatley Vodka to bring you Five indispensable Vodka cocktails. Like it or not Vodka is one of the most popular spirits worldwide, if not the most and although it tends to get a bad wrap in cocktail circles I wanted to show how varied and complex cocktails using vodka can be. So enjoy the video and go forth to make these drinks!
Wheatley has a new competition series called Proof here on YouTube which is video series where bartenders compete to create the best cocktail from a themed basket of ingredients. Think Food Network’s “Chopped,” but for bartenders and cocktails. The cocktails are then judged by a panel of influencers and industry figures—headed by Harlen Wheatley. Here’s a link to the series:
