For some the potato means chips, for others mash, but for many years the potato was the magic ingredient in our favourite tipple, vodka! So in tribute to this spudtacular national holiday, we are paying tribute to some of the best vodka based cocktails (and showcase some you may not have heard of).
So take a look below to see some of the greatest vodka based cocktails of all time! Long live the potato!
Long island ice tea
The most complicated (and dangerously delicious) cocktail on the list, this is one of the charming vodka based cocktails that pack a punch! This killer cocktail contains more than 4 kinds of alcohol and yet somehow tastes like sweet, sunny afternoon tea. Perhaps it’s the cola, or the triple sec, but one sip of this and you’ll find yourself wanting more vodka based cocktails.
It’s deceptively potent and should definitely come with a warning!
Tom Collins
It might not have been the most popular in recent years, but vodka based cocktails like the Tom Collins are making a comeback! And it’s no wonder, lemon and seltzer water makes this tangy drink one of the most refreshing choices from our cocktail menu.
And for those interested in quirky history, this is one of the vodka based cocktails with the most interesting origins.
Gimlet
A gimlet is perhaps one of the simplest vodka based cocktails you could make. Traditionally made with gin, this effortless cocktail is a mix of refreshingly sour juice and spirit. By swapping gin with vodka you get a more clean, and subtle flavour; it’s not to everyone’s taste but if you’re a fan of vodka based cocktails, you’ll find yourself seduced by this elegant drink.
To add elegant vodka based cocktails like the Gimlet to your mobile bar hire, Essex’s finest options can be found here at Beyond Bar Hire.
Spritzer
You’ve heard of a wine spritzer, now it’s time to gear up for this energising vodka cocktail. Topped with soda water and cranberry juice, simply add a touch of sweetness by throwing in a few fruits and berries and you’ll have yourself a wonderfully refreshing fruity little cocktail. A perfect addition to any event hosted on a hot summer’s day. You’ll be converted to vodka spritzers in no time!
Vodka martini with a twist
Vodka martinis are a classic vodka staple and it would be an insult to leave them out of the ‘greatest vodka based cocktails’ list. But few people realise how diverse and extraordinary this cocktail actually is. So here are just two of the many forms this iconic drink can take.
The lemon drop martini has a sour kick and offers a tart alternative to the traditional martini. But don’t be fooled, it’s just as simple and sophisticated as the classic.
The blackcurrant martini. This cocktail includes a few specific ingredients like creme de cassis and sherry, but it remains as sophisticated and as sleek as the traditional martini.
The adaptable nature of the vodka martini makes it arguably the most remarkable, and iconic, vodka based cocktails of all time! If it’s good enough for James Bond, it’s good enough for us!

Smirnoff
This brand of vodka is iconic. Anyone who has ordered vodka drinks, or vodka based cocktails has almost certainly received Smirnoff (at least once). It’s on page one in the bartender guide and makes an excellent base for vodka based cocktails.
Absolut
vodka has strong links with Russia and yet, as one of the best on the market, absolut was created by the Swedish. With no added sugar and exclusively natural ingredients, this brand of spirit provides (arguably) the ‘purest’ vodka taste of all the options available on the market. Absolut also has a range of distilled flavours but regardless of your preference, you can’t deny this is one of the finest choices for vodka based cocktails.
88
The only way to make award winning vodka based cocktails, is to use award winning vodka. And that’s exactly what this brand offers its customers. 88 prides itself on the smooth, sophisticated taste and distinctly premium palette of its vodka. There isn’t much more to be said about this classy vodka, because it really does speak for itself.
