Viva Vodka Colorful Cocktails with a Kick
By W. Park Kerr
Photographs by Leigh Beisch
From the author of Viva Margarita come 50 recipes for elegant vodka-based cocktails, down-and-dirty shooters, refreshing patio coolers, frozen and creamy indulgences, and an array of dazzling new flavor combinations. Sure, the recipe for a classic martini is in here, but that's just the beginning. Get a Caipirovska, the Russian equivalent of Brazil's famous Caipirihna (just trade out the cachaça for cold, refreshing vodka, sit back, and enjoy). Or try the Arrivederci Capri, a sunny little drink with citrusy lemoncello. And for the truly hardcore, the In-a-Vodka-Da-Vida section is filled with knockout recipes for shooters and shots. Viva Vodka—there's a whole lotta shakin' goin' on.
