Vodka deserves respect: here are luxury cocktails to show it off

Classic vodka cocktails get a luxurious twist

Ketel One

Vodka is one of those ingredients which is popular with a general crowd but not always at the top of mind for bartenders. A quality vodka can be an intriguing, complex, wonderfully textured thing to drink, but it's also easy to overlook as its flavors can be so subtle. If you're working with a great vodka, though, you'll find it is absolutely a worthy part of your home bar arsenal.

As today is National Cocktail Day, the folks at Ketel One Vodka have shared some of their favorite vodka recipes, including some classic cocktails with some unique twists to show off this sometimes overlooked spirit.

Whiskey can be for springtime too, as these easy to make cocktails show

Get out your fruits and your berries, as we're mixing for spring

Bear Fight Whiskey

Spring is officially here, at least in my area where the sun has been shining and the winter cold is finally (finally!) dissipating. That means it's time for spring cocktails, and some of the hottest cocktail trends for this time of year include bright colors and fresh fruits. That might sound like you'll be looking to spritzes, or perhaps clear spirits like gin or vodka, and certainly those can make for some delicious drinks.

But you can also turn these trends to the world of whiskey, which can happily be mixed with these on-trend flavors too. These cocktails from Bear Fight Whiskey for spring include options using either single malt or bourbon as you prefer.

These are the cocktails to make with your high-end craft sakes

Sake is traditionally drunk neat - but you can mix it into cocktails too

Lavendaze

Sake is a beautiful drink, but one that some people can be intimidated by. While it's traditionally drunk neat, you should feel free to experiment with using it in cocktails too, as its delicate flavors can add a unique note to your drinks.

If you're unsure where to start, then craft sake brand Origami Sake has some suggested recipes to try, from delicate florals for spring from lavender syrup to a fun margarita variation which uses sake instead of tequila. There's also an unusual mocktail option which combines sophisticated flavors with Origami's non-alcoholic sake, making use of lots of fresh fruit juices to add zing and flavor.
