Here’s How To Toast National Vodka Day

National vodka day is celebrated annually on October 4. In honor of the commemoration, we are sharing various creations to enjoy this versatile spirit. Gone are the days of identifying the distilled beverage as colorless, or flavorless. Today, brands are focusing on ingredients and creating incredible vodka from grains, to beets, potatoes, grapes and apples. To mark the occasion, celebrate by booking a Vodka Distillery Tour, Infuse your own flavored vodka, (we crafted one with cherries, lemon, and hibiscus), or try one of these perfect cocktails to toast National Vodka Day.
