1. French Blonde

4. French Martini

Despite what its alluring name might suggest, the French Martini actually hails from New York. Bartender Allen Katz came up with the creation in the eighties and it’s one of the most dainty and sippable vodka cocktails for spring. Made with just three ingredients — vodka, pineapple juice, and raspberry liqueur — it’s an easy cocktail to make at home. 

5. Tom Collins

Spring vodka cocktails don’t get easier than the simple Tom Collins. This iconic highball is a variation of the classic Gin Sour, and the ideal drink to clink when the weather is balmy and you want something ice cold, tall, and delicious to sip at leisure.

7. Pink Vodka Lemonade Slushies

The best way to enjoy a boozy lemonade when the weather is sweltering is to get frosty with it. To make Vodka Pink Lemonade Slushies, blend 4 cups of ice with 1 cup of cherry vodka, 2 cups of fresh lemonade, and 2 tablespoons of sugar syrup until smooth. Adjust the sweetness by adding additional simple syrup if desired. Pour the slushy mixture into glasses, garnish with lemon slices or cherries, and serve immediately for a refreshing and mildly potent cocktail experience.   

Make it with: SKYY Infusions Cherry Vodka 

8. Pineapple Moscow Mule

This vodka spring cocktail has some zesty tropical flair and is a lovely variation of the classic Moscow Mule.  To make one, add 60ml SKYY Vodka, 30ml fresh lime juice, and 60ml pineapple juice to a classic mug and stir to combine. Add 120ml ginger beer and fill the cup with ice. Garnish with a slice of fresh pineapple, a slice of lime, and a sprig of fresh mint, if using. Serve immediately.

9. Lemon Drop Martini

Perky and pretty with a tempting sugar rim, the Lemon Drop Martini was named after a hard candy popular in the 1970s. Odds are you’ve probably seen them in your granny’s candy bowl. Happily, the cocktail itself is not fuddy-duddy by any means. Combining citrus vodka, orange liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup, it’s a lively sip with plenty of pep. 

Make it with: SKYY Infusions Citrus Vodka and Grand Marnier 

10. Dirty Shirley Temple

The Dirty Shirley cocktail is a boozy riff on the classic Shirley Temple mocktail recipe. It combines grenadine and lemon-lime soda with a kiss of vodka, garnished with cherries for extra throwback cheer. 

11. Sea Breeze 

An easy blend of vodka, cranberry, and grapefruit juice, the bright and breezy Sea Breeze is a cocktail for just about everyone. Its bright and bold cranberry colour sets it apart and makes it a stand-out vodka-based cocktail for spring.  

12. Cucumber Martini

Cool, crisp, and clear, our Cucumber Martini is a deliciously different sip that is tailor-made for a springtime cocktail hour. It also makes a wonderful counterpoint to smoky, meaty flavours, so try serving it at your next springtime barbecue. 

13. Long Island Iced Tea

The Long Island Iced Tea is a great choice if you’re looking for easy spring vodka cocktail recipes to make for larger groups ahead of time. These multi-spirit drinks can be quite potent, so stick to the measurements and enjoy them slowly. For a lighter version, take the amount of liquor down a notch and add more cola.  

14. Pineapple Vodka Lemonade

To make Pineapple Vodka Lemonade, add 60ml pineapple vodka to 180 – 240ml oz of fresh lemonade over ice, and garnish with a fresh pineapple to give it that seaside holiday feel.  

Make it with: SKYY Infusions Pineapple Vodka 

15. Vodka Tonic

The Vodka Tonic is a simple, sophisticated drink that can be kept low-key for casual get-togethers with friends or dressed up for dinner parties. While gin is the more obvious choice for tonic water, vodka is excellent for those looking for a crisp and smooth bittersweet drink. Build it in a highball glass for something light and refreshing or in a tumbler for a slightly stronger slow sipper. 

16. Strawberry Shrub Cocktail

A shrub drink calls for a non-alcoholic syrup made with concentrated fruit, sugar, and vinegar. The syrup can be used in mocktails or in cocktails that call for an acidic fruity twist. The Strawberry Shrub cocktail adds vodka to the mix for a berry-forward drink filled with fantastic fruity flavours.
