10 Easy Cocktails with Vodka to Make at Home

Today we embark on what is going to be an ambitious project and give you 10 easy to make and what I feel are essential cocktails everyone should know how to make with Vodka. If you’re anything like me, you love hosting people and before I had kids Anika and I would host a lot of dinner parties at our house. Of course cocktail making goes hand in hand with having people over and in my humble opinion there are a few cocktails everyone should know how to make. We decided to go with vodka because not only is it one of the most popular spirits out there, but also because many people in the cocktail world tend to look down on this versatile spirit. So we thought, why not make our first video showing, lovely, complex and satisfying cocktails with Vodka?
