Vodka cocktails are some of the most classic and classy mixed drinks on the liquor market, but sometimes it's fun to add a little unexpected twist to these classic drinks.
Bartenders, both amateur and professional from all over the world have created and published recipes for some of the most insanely delicious and inventive vodka cocktails ever. For instance, one mixologist created a cocktail milkshake, which combines the delicious creaminess of a milk shake with the bitter taste of vodka for an adult take on a childhood beverage. Another vodka connoisseur managed to infuse his vodka with bacon by letting his bacon soak in a bottle of vodka for some time, and then straining it. The resulting liquid was just as alcoholic, but also featured the dark, savory taste of bacon strips.
With a ton of backyard barbecues and pool parties coming up, it's important to know how to keep guests entertained. These recipes are each creative and quirky, and will definitely have party guests talking about your get-together for weeks. Desserts like vodka-infused cupcakes or drinks like pumpkin pie-flavored martinis will shock and surprise guests, while simultaneously making them fall in love with vodka all over again.
