Here are the vodka cocktail recipes carefully selected by Cocktail Mixing Master:
BLACK RUSSIAN

BLOODY MARY* Arguably the most famous and widely drank vodka cocktails of all time. Perceived by many to be a great hangover cure. (Click here to go to our Hangover Cures guide.) Another cocktail with as many variants as there are bartenders.
Ingredients: Glass:Highball or hurricane Preparation:Put the vodka and tomato juice in a shaker with a few ice cubes. Add the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce. Shake well and strain into the glass (which can be with or without ice). Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish:Celery stick, which serves as a stirrer as well.
Works well with a few drops of lemon juice too.

Replace the vodka with whisky to create a “God Father”.
HARVEY WALLBANGER* This is a surfer’s drink, perfect for sunny summer’s days. It is said to have been invented by a surfer, Harvey, who was eliminated from a surfing contest in California. He drank a huge amount of vodka and Galliano and banged his head against the wall in despair. Ingredients: Glass:Highball Preparation:Shake the vodka and orange juice and strain into the glass, with a few ice cubes. Float the Galliano on top. Garnish:Slice of orange, cocktail cherry.
LOVE COCKTAIL
Also know as “Love Potion”.
Ingredients: Glass:Martini, chilled Preparation:Shake the ingredients with ice and strain into the glass. Garnish:Maraschino cherry
SCREWDRIVER* A very straight-forward drink and rather a mixed alcoholic drink than a cocktail in the true sense. Still a classic, very enjoyable and one of our favorite vodka cocktail recipes. Ingredients: Glass:Highball, chilled Preparation:Pour the vodka and orange juice into the ice filled glass and stir gently. Garnish:Slice of orange, optional.
It is believed that this drink was first created in the 1950’s by American engineers working in the Middle East. They added orange juice to their vodka and stirred it with the closest thing – usually a screwdriver.
SLOW COMFORTABLE SCREW Originally called “Sloe Comfortable Screw” as it was made with sloe gin, Southern Comfort and the ingredients of the Screwdriver. These days, many bartenders prefer to use “normal” gin. Ingredients: Glass:Highball Preparation:Shake the vodka, gin and Southern Comfort and strain into the glass. Top up with orange juice and stir gently. Garnish: Slice of orange, optional.
A variant of this cocktail: Float a 0.5 parts Galliano on top to turn it into a “Slow Comfortable Screw Against the Wall”.
