Every year, the world observes International Vodka Day on October 4.

The last few years have seen a variety of premium Indian homegrown gin, rum and whiskey labels have their moment and rightly so for all those who love them. So where does vodka stand in this sudden flurry of demand? Indian bartenders, bar managers and mixologists believe it is very much here and has stood the test of time, and will continue to do so, come what may. Since vodka is tasteless, colourless and odourless, bar experts say it is a bartender’s best friend because they can easily play around with its flavours, to produce something absolutely new. In fact, it is this very ability, they say, that has led to its evolution in India over the years and made it an important part of the country’s craft cocktail revolution.

Every year, International Vodka Day is observed on October 4 to celebrate the spirit in all its forms. Unfortunately, for as long as this writer can remember wanting to order vodka at a local bar or even a vodka cocktail, he has been met with the stereotype by several male drinkers of it being a “women’s drink”. While that can be attributed to preconceived notions, bartenders and mixologists have been serving different kinds of cocktails. These are not only your classic cocktails like Bloody Mary, Vodka Martini, Screwdriver or the Moscow Mule but evolved versions of them, and other newer ones that are being drunk at restaurants and bars in the city.
