COCKTAILS Until the 1970’s cocktails were made predominantly with gin, whisky or rum, and less commonly vodka. From the 1970s on, the popularity of vodka increased dramatically. By the 1980s it was the predominant base for mixed drinks. Many cocktails traditionally made with gin, may now be served by default with vodka. The cocktails we serve at Vodka Wodka combine what we feel will suit the bar: fun, taste, a variety of Vodkas and through necessity – simplicity.
