Different types of vodka are available at different price points, with cheaper options suitable for mixed drinks and cooking, mid-range vodkas good for cocktails, and premium vodkas offering a unique experience. Flavored vodkas should be used in cocktails developed with the infusion in mind.

Vodka is a hard liquor traditionally created by fermenting potatoes, grain, or fruit. There are different varieties of vodka available to the consumer at different price points and choosing the best one depends largely on the intended use. The cheapest vodkas can be used for various types of mixed drinks or for cooking. Higher-end vodkas are more suitable for drinking straight or for serving in cocktails where the flavor of the vodka will stand out. Flavored vodkas can be served alone or with other ingredients in a specialty drink.

Budget-conscious consumers may want to look for lower-end vodkas to keep in their bar or serve at a party. Inexpensive vodkas can be mixed with soda or fruit juices for quick mixed drinks. They can also be used to make jello-based shots and other types of party drinks. Bars may offer cheaper varieties of vodka in their least expensive “fine” drinks. This type of vodka can also be used in cooking recipes that call for the liqueur to be used to glaze a pan or as part of a reduction.

In general, mid-range vodkas are good enough to serve on their own or as an ingredient in cocktails that rely on the liquor for much of its flavoring. These types of vodkas are served in bars in “call” drinks. Mid-range vodkas are generally well-known brands and are suitable for serving the majority of guests or as a gift to friends or family who enjoy cocktails.

Premium vodkas can be expensive but they can offer a unique experience to many discerning cocktail drinkers. These vodkas can be enjoyed on their own or over ice. They can also be served in mixed drinks like martinis. The high cost of top shelf vodka and the liquor’s subtle flavor mean consumers on a budget may want to save these strains for special occasions.

Flavored vodkas are made by infusing the clear liquor with fruit or other ingredients. While the brew helps impart a distinct flavor to the vodka, the additional taste can make these brands inappropriate for general use. Shoppers should remember that many cocktail recipes will taste funny when mixed with the wrong type of flavored liqueur. In general, these vodkas should be served alone or used in cocktails developed with the infusion in mind. Flavored vodkas are often used to create a specialty drink for a bar or restaurant and can help make a party or event stand out.
