Svedka, whose name is a combination of the words “Svenska” (Swedish) and “Vodka”, is definitely a crowd-pleaser, with a bottle that’s inexpensive but promises to mix well. Its high alcohol base means that Spirytus certainly comes with a bite and should not be drunk without being heavily diluted first.

Creamy with caramel, vanilla, white chocolate, and floral notes, the expression is bottled at 80 proof. The delicate aroma of floral white peach is elevated with a touch of rosemary for a taste that’s worthy of a celebration.

This small-batch vodka is produced in an old aircraft hanger near San Francisco in small Holstein Pot Stills and is a must-try for any vodka lover. Produced from winter wheat and distilled four times, it’s a column-distilled vodka with a peppery bite after an initial sweet note. Ciroc uses grapes grown high in the Gaillac region of France and distills its vodka five times before bottling. Everything from the delicious spirit inside to the classy, translucent bottle makes Belvedere live up to its name, which translates as “beautiful to see”. When vodka is produced using something other than potato or cereal grain, like Ciroc, which is made using grapes, it must legally be declared on the bottle.

It’s also the only vodka brand to be awarded the Positive Luxury Butterfly Mark, which recognizes its commitment to quality craftsmanship and environmental responsibility. Grey Goose is one of the original ultra-premium vodkas on the market and offers a delightfully crisp taste with a smooth finish.

We recommend a sweeter vanilla bean for this spirit, such as a Tahiti, Kerema, Ecuadorian or Tongan. We recommend that you always check the packaging for allergen advice and talk to your doctor if you need any further food allergy advice. Just whizz equal parts of vanilla vodka, Baileys, Kahlua (or similar) and cream (or milk) with loads of ice in a blender until smooth.
