The most popular vodka-based cocktails
I've been wondering: what are the most popular vodka cocktails? Personally, I always thought that vodka was a drink to be drunk in its pure form, but recently I tried a Bloody Mary and it was unexpectedly cool. Salty flavor, tomato juice, spices - another level altogether! And then I found out that this cocktail is considered to be almost the best for hangovers. What other cocktails are worth trying?

Oh, great topic! In the US, for example, Cosmopolitan is very popular - it's light, fruity, but you can still taste the vodka flavor. And also “Moscow Mule” - vodka, ginger ale and lime, perfectly refreshing in the summer. If you want to explore this topic further, there is a good resource where different cocktails are described: https://www.lex.vodka/. There is a lot of interesting stuff there, maybe you will find something new for you!

I wonder how cocktails with vodka spread so widely around the world. For example, Asia has different tastes in general - they like something with yuzu, lychee, coconut. And in Europe, bars in Europe often make classics like “Screwdriver” or “White Russian”. In general, each country has its own approach to this drink.
