- Using the correct glassware for your cocktails helps enhance the color, aroma, and temperature of your vodka cocktails.
- Keep your ice cube trays filled so you can mix up the perfect cocktail whenever the mood strikes.
- Don’t forget to garnish! Garnishes not only make your vodka drinks visually appealing but can also enhance the flavor. Use both edible and non-edible garnishes to add extra flair.
- These delectable drinks do go down quite easily, so please make sure to drink responsibly and be mindful of your consumption.

The Elderflower Champagne Fizz is a delicious cocktail. It’s light as I have used elderflower cordial instead of liqueur which means the alcohol content is only from the Champagne. You could use a liqueur too and swap out the Champagne for any sparkling wine, preferably a dry style.
