Looking for winter vodka cocktails to warm you up on the coldest nights? You’ve come to the right place for all the best recipes!
As the weather gets cooler and the days get shorter, our thoughts turn to holiday plans, crock pot recipes, and, of course, cocktails.
We previously shared our favorite winter gin cocktails, and now it’s time to explore the wonderful world of vodka!
As you’re probably aware, vodka and cold weather go together like red wine and a medium-rare steak. Originating in Poland and Russia (both of which are still home to many of the world’s top brands), vodka is a versatile spirit that pairs well with a wide array of cocktail ingredients.
Obviously, a refreshing Cosmopolitan is a welcome treat on a hot summer‘s day. But for our money, vodka does its best work in hearty cold-weather drinks.
The stuff is meant to be enjoyed while seated next to a roaring fire with a leatherbound copy of Anna Karenina in your lap and Mariah Carey Christmas jams emanating from your speakers. In other words, it’s holiday cheer in a glass!
So without further ado, we present to you our complete list of Food Fanatic’s favorite winter vodka cocktails:
