How to Choose the Best Vodka for Cocktails

When it comes to making cocktails, the type of vodka that you use can make all the difference. Different vodkas have different flavor profiles and can really enhance certain notes in a cocktail. Here are our top tips for choosing the best vodka for cocktails:

For Smooth Cocktails

If you want a smooth and creamy cocktail, vodkas with a higher alcohol content tend to be smoother, making them ideal for cocktails like the White Russian or the Espresso Martini.

For Fruity Cocktails

If you want to make a fruity cocktail, look for vodka with citrusy or floral notes. These types of vodkas will really enhance the flavors of your fruit juices and syrups. Our favorite is the Town’s End Stillhouse and Grill’s Lemon vodka, which is perfect for making a delicious Lemon Drop Martini.

For Spicy Cocktails

If you like your cocktails with a little bit of a bite, opt for vodka with some spice to it. Vodkas with chili pepper or other spices can really give your cocktail an extra kick. The Town’s End Stillhouse and Grill’s Cinnamon vodka is perfect for making a spicy Screwdriver.

For Sweet Cocktails

If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll want to choose a vodka with sweeter notes. Vodkas with vanilla or chocolate flavors are the best vodka for cocktails that are not too sweet, like a Chocolate Martini or Vanilla Sky.

The Process of Making Vodka

Vodka is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from grain or potatoes. At Town’s End Stillhouse and Grill, we use a unique process to make our award-winning vodka. Here is a brief overview of the process that we use:

The grains or potatoes are first milled into a coarse flour. The flour is then mixed with water and yeast to start the fermentation process. The mixture is then distilled multiple times to produce a high-proof alcohol. Finally, the vodka is filtered and bottled. We are proud of our process and the high-quality vodka that it produces!

If you are keen on a memorable night out tasting a fine selection of food and drinks, give us a call at Town’s End Stillhouse and Grill today! Our knowledgeable staff will be more than happy to help you choose the perfect vodka for your next cocktail. Cheers!
