Vodka

This version of the classic vodka cocktail skips the ginger beer and heads to the blender for a spicy, frozen, highly slurpable drink that’s even more refreshing. 

This refreshing green brunch cocktail is made with cucumber, tart tomatillo, parsley, lemon, and green Tabasco. Feel free to use whatever vodka you have on hand.

If vodka and cream and coffee are among your favorite things, this cocktail may be your jam.

Thyme goes beautifully with sweet and citrus flavors, making it perfect for cocktails. This recipe multiplies easily for large groups.

No muss, no fuss. It’s good to go in a few seconds.

It’s a vodka martini—properly called the Kangaroo—gone savory with peaty Scotch and olives four ways.

Lucky for you, you probably have most of the ingredients for this luscious tomato-packed sauce in your kitchen right now.

A generous dash of crushed red pepper cuts through the sweet, rich tomato-cream sauce of this Italian-American classic.

This dairy-free ice cream is infused with matcha and a touch of organic vanilla, and has a rich, sweet flavor.

Refreshing! And potentially debilitating, so be careful. Pitmaster Furman uses Lawn Dart ginger-lemon liqueur, but Absolut Citron will work.

This easy, gingery cocktail can be made with gin or vodka. No blackberries on hand? Sub in any fresh or frozen berries.

Delicate rose water (a common ingredient in Middle Eastern sweets) and tart lemonade are a refreshing combination in this pretty pink drink.

It might be hard to go back to regular iced tea ever again.
