Planning on throwing dinner parties this holiday season? Many people can’t think of a more excellent way to get into the holiday spirit than enjoying a seasonal cocktail (or two). When choosing which cocktails to serve, you can’t go wrong with a versatile vodka-based cocktail. Here are some of the best holiday cocktails with vodka. 

Vodka cocktails: The stars of holiday dinner parties

Vodka is generally a tasteless alcohol in itself which makes it a perfect spirit to make anyone a cocktail. Because it doesn’t have a strong taste like whiskey or tequila, cocktail lovers with a trickier palette can find a vodka cocktail that they enjoy. If there’s an event happening, vodka cocktails are the way to go to please everyone while still making different holiday vodka cocktails.
