Sometimes you just want a simple cocktail that is quick to make and tastes great. We have the perfect drink for you! Next time you want something easy and delicious, make yourself a nice cold Vodka and Coke cocktail.

What is a Vodka and Coke?
The Vodka and Coke cocktail is just one of many cocktails that involve mixing liquor with your favorite soda. The crisp bit of a high quality vodka blends perfectly with the smooth, sweet flavor of Coke.
In fact, there may not be a more popular mixer with any liquor than Coca Cola. Some of our favorites are Rum & Coke, Gin & Coke, Jack & Coke, as well as many other drinks with Coke.
This is a go to drink for parties, small get togethers, and even quiet dinners at home. The recipe is quick and simple. You’ll make your drink and be kicked back relaxing in no time flat!
Other Soft Drink Mixers
In addition to Coke, some other popular mixers are Sprite, Ginger Ale, and Root Beer. We recommend trying the Vodka Ginger Ale, Vodka and Sprite, Whiskey and Root Beer, and our favorite copycat margarita, the Tequila and Sprite.
But enough about other drinks, lets get to the Vodka and Coke recipe!
