The article advocates for vodka's reintegration into contemporary cocktail culture, highlighting how it suffered from a bad reputation due to poor experiences and long-ago cocktail trends. The author reflects on the shift away from vodka in favor of more complex cocktails during the early 2000s but urges a revival of vodka as bartenders create innovative drinks that feature this spirit in exciting ways. It emphasizes that vodka can be delightful when crafted well, encouraging readers to reconsider their avoidance of it, especially given the growing appreciation for cocktail quality today.
If I had a nickel for every time someone said 'I like everything but vodka,' I could do a load of laundry.
Cocktail culture is booming. Hell, we're paying upwards of $20 for one single drink. Shouldn't we welcome vodka back to the party?
Many bartenders feature vodka on the menu in excellent cocktails. It's the star of my favorite drink at Superbueno, the Vodka y Soda.
That was an awful handle that probably cost $10, maybe even less. This is not the vodka I'm telling you to drink.
