To make the list of Simple Vodka Drinks, these drinks had to be not only dead simple but also absolutely delicious. Among our criteria for simple vodka drinks was that they must contain at most two ingredients (and guess what... one of those two ingredients is always vodka!). Also, we decided the word "simple" meant that there should be absolutely no "hard work" involved, such as shaking, muddling, blending, layering - blah, blah, blah. All we want to do is spend a few seconds pouring stuff into a glass and walk away with a delicious refreshing cocktail. Ah, yes, instant gratification at its finest! If you read through all the simple vodka drinks recipes and commentaries below, you will see us mention this point over and over again, but we think it is important: most of the simple vodka drinks listed here will taste much better and can be served considerably stronger if they are poured over plenty of ice - so keep that in mind when buying your mixers and pick up a bag of ice if you don't have a good supply wherever you are going to be enjoying your beverages. Can you mix them without ice? Most certainly - and especially if you keep your vodka in the freezer and your mixers in the fridge.
