It’s National Vodka Day! Vodka has quite a history and today’s vodkas are made from a variety of different things such as potatoes, wheat, corn, and even grapes. And while the origin of vodka is up for much debate, its popularity around the world is not. But vodka cocktails aren’t just a shaken Martini a la James Bond or a Cosmopolitan with Carrie Bradshaw and friends--there are plethora of cocktails that perfectly feature the smooth, subtle taste of vodka.
