Vodka-infused cocktails are incredibly popular. You can create a variety of shades of aromas and tastes, depending on the ingredients used, as well as add the necessary strength to the drink with the help of vodka. There are many recipes for making alcoholic cocktails that are easy to prepare at home.
Vodka is good for making alcoholic cocktails for its strength, lack of a specific taste and colorlessness. Any fruits, juices and other alcoholic drinks are perfectly combined with it. Bartenders consider vodka to be the best base for making cocktails. If you want to experiment and create your own cocktail recipe, then you should adhere to a certain formula: A + 2B + 7C. A is the sweet part (syrup or liqueur), B is the acidic part (lemon juice), C is the alcohol base.
