The New Year holidays are coming soon, and it’s rare that a holiday feast is complete without alcoholic beverages. Simple cocktails with vodka at home, the recipes for which you will find in this article, will help you diversify the menu of the holiday table and satisfy the tastes and wishes of your guests, because not everyone can drink vodka in its pure form.

Vodka is an ideal ingredient for preparing various mixed drinks. It gives alcoholic cocktails the necessary strength, while being odorless (if the product is of high quality) and does not spoil the taste of the other ingredients of such drinks.

There are a lot of recipes for vodka-based cocktails. Each of them has its own unique and incomparable taste. Having set the goal of conquering and surprising your guests with the variety and originality of the festive table and preparing such drinks according to several recipes, you will create a festive atmosphere in the house and provide everyone with a good mood. In addition, beautifully decorated cocktails can become a real decoration for any feast.

The basic rule when preparing such alcoholic cocktails is to maintain the proportion of vodka and non-alcoholic component 7:3 (seven parts alcohol and 3 parts other components). Most often, other components are taken in a 1:2 ratio - one part sweet drinks (syrup, soda or liqueur) and two parts sour component (juice).

Only by observing these proportions will you get a drink with normal strength and excellent taste. But, depending on what strength you want the cocktail to be, other proportions of ingredients are also allowed.

Attention: when preparing cocktails, use only high-quality vodka and chilled ingredients!

Recipes for simple cocktails with vodka at home will turn ordinary gatherings into a celebration. Surprise your guests and give them a good mood!

I am often asked what cocktails can be made at home, and when I ask what alcohol is available, they say that only vodka is available. At the same time, those who ask do not really hope for a large number of options. There is a certain stereotype that homemade cocktails with vodka are a banal “screwdriver” or vodka mixed with other juice. This is completely wrong!

If you read various bartender's guides, there are not many vodka-based cocktails without the participation of liqueurs. But the homecocktail website exists precisely for this purpose, to adapt classic recipes for the home bar. And so let’s figure out what vodka is for the composition of a cocktail. This is the perfect strong base for a cocktail!

Of course, vodka has a sharper taste than rum and, as a rule, does not have a characteristic aromatic taste, but with the right dosage it can replace many strong cocktail bases. Of course, if you only have vodka and juice on the table and nothing else, then it’s difficult to do anything else besides vodka and juice. But even from such sources you can squeeze out more than it seems at first glance. If desired, from banal vodka you can prepare short shooters that can be drunk in one gulp, classic cocktails, and even milkshakes with vodka at home.

1. Keep ice packs in the freezer of your refrigerator. Even if your vodka is cold, a drink chilled with ice has a better taste.
2. Stock up on good cocktail glassware in advance; a regular highball glass and cocktail straws will do.
3. If you want to make something decent with minimal starting materials, you need to have bartender tools, at least a shaker.
4. Keep a minimum supply of citrus fruits, lemon, orange in the refrigerator. They will be needed for decoration.

1. cocktail “V and V”

50 ml - vodka
75 ml orange juice
75 ml grapefruit juice
20 ml lemon juice (squeeze ½ fresh lemon)

Add ice to the shaker and pour all the ingredients, mix. Add ice to the highball glass and pour the drink. Garnish with a slice of lemon and orange.

2. Cherryboss cocktail

50 ml-vodka
150 ml cherry juice
20 ml lemon juice (fresh)

Put ice in a highball glass and pour vodka, juice and lemon juice on top. Stir.

3. "pineapple" cocktail

50 ml-vodka
150 ml pineapple juice
20 ml lemon juice (fresh)
20 ml orange juice (fresh)
2 spoons of sugar

Place ice and all ingredients in a shaker. Mix vigorously. Add ice to a highball glass and pour the drink. Garnish with an orange slice.

If you buy yourself 1-2 variants of syrups, then the range of possible cocktails will be much wider. It is best, of course, to use good syrups, but in extreme cases, you can buy regular syrup in the store. The quality is of course worse, but in the absence of a better one you can use it.

4. cocktail “morning with your beloved”

50 ml-vodka
100 ml pineapple juice
75 ml milk
30 ml coconut syrup

Place ice in a shaker, pour in all ingredients and shake vigorously. Pour into a highball glass. If there are ingredients that are pronounced in terms of taste, such as syrup and juice, the taste of vodka will not be felt! You can add a scoop of ice cream or a banana and blend in a blender. As a result, the ingredients that are usually found in every refrigerator will make an excellent cocktail.

Also, by adding 5-10 ml of grenadine syrup to vodka mixed with orange or pineapple juice, you will give the cocktail an original two-color and diversify the flavor range.

EXAMPLE.
50 ml-vodka
100 ml - pineapple juice
50 ml orange juice
10 ml syrup GRENADINE

COOKING
Place ice in a highball glass and pour all ingredients except syrup. Stir. Add syrup without stirring. Garnish with an orange slice.

Well, how can we not mention the simplest and most popular cocktail, the Bloody Mary.

By the way, this cocktail can be made in layers: first, pour juice with spices into a glass, and pour vodka on top in a thin stream over a knife.

This is one of the "explosive" cocktails that includes the recently launched energy drink Red Bull. This drink first appeared several years ago in bars in Western Europe.

everything is mixed in a shaker and shaken well. The drink is served in small old-style glasses.
