Answer 2

Hi,

Vodka can be mixed with absolutely any fruit juice. Whereas i'd tend to go for a gin and tonic. Other suggestions could include cocktails such as:

1/ Gin Fizz Cocktail

You will need

50 ml Bombay gin
25 ml lemon juice
3 drops orange blossom water
15 ml sugar syrup
1 egg white
15 ml cream
soda water
ice cubes
glace cherry
lemon slice
cocktail shaker
cocktail strainer
serving glass
standard double shot measure
standard single shot measure
measuring spoons

Step 2 Separate the egg

Place the cocktail strainer over the mixing glass. Crack open an egg and let it drop on top. The white will fall through the strainer into the glass with the yolk remaining on the strainer. Discard the yolk

Step 3 Gin

Pour in 50ml of Bombay gin

Step 4 Lemon juice

Then 25ml of lemon juice

Step 5 Orange blossom water

Add 3 drops of orange blossom water. As our orange blossom water comes with an atomizer we are adding 3 squirts, which is the same quantity

Step 6 Sugar

Pour in 15 ml of sugar syrup

Step 7 Cream

and 15 ml of cream

Step 8 Shake

Fill the glass with ice cubes. Put the other half of the cocktail shaker on. Slap it down firmly to seal. Hold the top and bottom, and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds.

Step 9 Pour

Fill a serving glass with ice. Put the cocktail strainer over the shaker and pour the cocktail into the glass.

Step 10 Soda water

Top up with soda water

Step 11Garnish

Drop in a couple of straws, place a slice of lemon on top and finally drop in a glace cherry


2/ Greater Texas Cocktail

Step 1 You will need.

50 ml gin
50 ml vermouth
50 ml pineapple juice
50 ml orange juice
1 pineapple slice
ice cubes
1 old-fashioned glass
1 ice crusher (or wooden pestle)
1 ice scoop (or cup)
1 blender
1 knife
1 chopping board

Step 2 Prepare the cocktail.

Begin by crushing some ice using an ice crusher or a wooden pestle. Add 1 scoop of crushed ice to the blender.
Into the blender measure out and pour in 50ml of gin, 50ml of vermouth, 50ml of pineapple juice and 50ml of orange juice. Place the lid on the blender and blend on a low power for 30 seconds.

Step 3 Serve

Finish by pouring the mixture into an old-fashioned glass and garnish with a pineapple slice. Enjoy A Greater Texas in the comfort of your own back yard.

Answer 3

The classic mixer for gin is tonic water, with a little bit of lime juice, its very good, and you can make it as strong or as weak as you like. Serve in a tall glass.
Vodka mixes well with most anything, but one drink I enjoy is called a Moscow Mule, its a shot of vodka, hint of lime and then top off the glass of your choice with ginger ale. Goes great with a salty snack. Those are the simplest drinks you can make with just one alcohol.

Answer 4

I guess the two obvious ones are Tonic and Vermouth. That would give you a vodka/gin & tonic or a martini.

You can mix vodka with just about any fruit juice...ex. Cranberry Juice.

Gin is trickier. Stick with Gin & Tonic.

Answer 5

Cranberry Juice is very good with Vodka of course like you said OJ. So I guess Juices. I do not think I have ever tried Gin so I do not know about that one.

Answer 6

Vodka is good with OJ, Gin is good with Tonic water and Grapefruit juice

Answer 7

Gin mixes well with a soda called Squirt, which is grapefruit based. I like to mix vodka with just about anything...flavored sodas and some fruit juice of just about any combination is great. Another trick is to mix it with a weak "malt beverage" like hard lemonade if you want a real kick, but you have to be careful if you do, as it turns out quite potent.

Answer 8

Vodka and Ruby Red Grapefruit juice. Great summer drink.

Answer 9

dont like gin myself but love my vodka
i mix it with red bull or make a long vodka which is
angostura bitters few drops swirled around glass and thrown out , then ice , vodka, lemonade and a dash of lime great drink u shud try it :)

Answer 10

I like to mix vodka with Cranberry Gingerale.
