Hands up if you knew it was National Vodka Day today? Certainly not me. I had no idea that it was today, let alone a specific day dedicated to vodka. Thankfully, our friends over at EFFEN Vodka informed us of this very special day. LOL. They sent over three drink recipes that will guarantee you celebrate this day with style and flair. Who doesn’t love a delicious cocktail mid-week right?
Not only, am I a big fan of EFFEN, but the premium vodka brand has won over some big names in the fashion industry. Several world renowned designers including Phillip Lim and Zac Posen have sung the spirit’s praises.
“EFFEN Cucumber Vodka is so smooth. It’s definitely our new favorite with a Bloody Mary!” – Bespoken
“EFFEN Vodka, tastes as good as it looks in the bottle!” – Phillip Lim
“EFFEN curated a delicious Z’tini cocktail inspired by my collection!” – Zac Posen
Their endorsements have inspired EFFEN Vodka to create three drink recipes in their honor. Check out the tasty libations below. Cheers.
