You’ll love these Summer Vodka Drinks
I love to make easy cocktails at home. And when the weather warms up, I love to sit on my back patio and sip something delicious.
This list of chilled summer vodka cocktails gives you over 20 recipes to try next time you decide to mix up a drink.
Whether you’re having guests over (at some point) or enjoying with your partner, you’ll find recipes to meet all your taste preferences.
Is vodka good in the summer
YES! Vodka is a clear liquor that is really versatile. The fairly neutral flavor means that it pairs with other ingredients really well.
Vodka is one of my favorite liquors to use when making cocktails during summer.
It is the best thing to add to lemonade, soda and just about anything else to make quick and easy cocktails.
But it also works really well in elaborate drinks that are really fun and unique.
Whether you make DIY Flavored Vodka or use plain, you can create so many different types of drinks with this type of liquor.
What type of vodka should I use
When making mixed drinks with lots of ingredients, it really doesn’t matter what type of vodka you use.
Most of us have random vodka sitting in the cupboard. It’s totally fine to use.
For something that is more vodka focused, like a Vodka Gimlet, I like using something that has a great flavor.
My recommendation is Tito’s, as it’s a great quality and price point as well as being easy to find.
