The robust Bloody Mary, the sophisticated Vodka Gibson, the richly flavored Black Russian, the refreshing Screwdriver: these classic drinks are just a few of the reasons why vodka cocktails are perennial favorites. They're included here, along with a sparkling collection of other party favorites and exotic, fruity sensations that show off vodka's crisp, clean taste. Try the Moscow Mule, invented by accident in 1941 in a Los Angeles bar: it contains vodka, lime, and ginger beer. A delicious Down-Under Fizz features lemon, orange, grenadine, vodka, and soda water. Mix up a chilly Iceberg; a Snapdragon with Creme de Menthe; an irresistible Head-Over-Heels bubbling with Champagne and Angostura bitters; a pineapple and coconut-filled Chi Chi, and many more.
