At a party, what’s the one thing everyone needs? Alcohol. And no matter if it’s a college house party or an office gathering, vodka is usually the primary alcohol of choice because it’s so versatile and goes with anything. To help you navigate your way through this vast world of vodka-based drinks, we have compiled for you our five favorite drinks to please every palate: The Moscow Mule, the Bloody Mary, the White Russian, the Screwdriver, and Margarita! Enjoy!

What is a vodka

First, let’s talk about vodka, Vodka is a versatile spirit that can be used to make some delicious and unique cocktails.

A Brief History & Explanation Vodka is an alcoholic drink made from distilling cereal grains such as barley or corn. It has been produced in Russia since at least 1386 when it was mentioned in Pskov statutes. By 1478 Ivan III had declared it an official state drink which gave rise to its international name. The word “voda” means water in many Slavic languages and therefore vodka’s literal translation is “little water”.

The production of vodka in Russia grew steadily throughout the late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. By the 18th century, vodka had become an important drink in Russian society and was consumed by all social classes. In 1863, Dmitry Mendeleev developed the first chemical formula for vodka. He also created a standard system of vodka production that is still used today.

Russian vodka is usually made from wheat, rye, or barley malt, and often contains additives such as sugar, milk proteins, gelling agents, and flavorings. However, many other types of vodka are available on the market, including potato vodka, grape vodka, and even vegan vodka.
