Wednesday, October 4th, is National Vodka Day so instead of reaching for Red Bull and cranberry juice, introduce your vodka to the mixers it deserves.

To celebrate this day properly, we have put together a list of cocktail recipes that include exceptional, NEW vodkas such as Crystal Head AURORA and Koskenkorva.

Cheers!

_______________

**NEW** Crystal Head AURORA $59.99: With an iridescent finish, the bottle was designed in celebration of the most vivid aerial phenomenon in the world – ‘the Northern Lights.’ To create the aesthetic of the lights’ mysterious visual properties, the skull shaped bottle undergoes a meticulous process to create a uniquely iridescent metallized finish in which no two bottles are alike.

**NEW** Koskenkorva Vodka $24.99: Koskenkorva Vodka is a Finnish vodka brand produced in the western village of Koskenkorva, Finland. This award-winning vodka was first introduced in 1953, when enough barley became available after World War II, and is now available globally with the recent US launch. Koskenkorva is made with nature’s best Nordic ingredients, including good barley and pure water and combines them with hard work of local farmers to create a simple, smooth and honest spirit.

Crystal Head Vodka $49.99: Produced in Newfoundland, Canada, Crystal Head launched in the US in 2008 and is now sold in over 70 countries around the world. The vodka is filtered through Herkimer diamonds and is completely additive-free and gluten-free.
