The 20 Best Vodkas for 2025

VinePair

Vodka may well be unique in the alcohol world in that the less flavor an expression has, the more it will likely appeal to the category’s majority fan base. Imagine saying that about Scotch or, say, mezcal? At the same time, that’s a very narrow view of a category that has enjoyed a mini renaissance in recent years, with producers turning to ever more esoteric and specific base ingredients — and, yes, bottling expressions that exhibit aromas, flavor, and character.

Celebrate Summer with the Hugo Spritz

Drinkhacker

The Hugo Spritz, made with the beloved French St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur in replacement of a traditional Italian bitter or sour liqueur, was created by local bartender Roland Gruber. There were several iterations as Gruber searched for a liqueur to use that wasn’t bitter; one early iteration featured a lemon balm liqueur until in 2007 when St-Germain was released, and Gruber swapped the lemon balm liqueur for this new elderflower liqueur.

Irish whiskey brand Proper No. Twelve has been busy of late.

Whisky Review: Bearface Triple Oak Elementally Aged Canadian Whisky 7 Year Old

The Whiskey Wash

Editor’s Note: This review was originally published in 2023. It was updated and republished in June 2025. Watch this space for the other two Bearface reviews. Bearface whisky is something of a pan-Canadian product. Although the mash bill leans heavily on corn (99.5% corn to 0.5% malted barley, to be precise) and eschews the rye commonly associated with Canadian whisky, it travels across much of the country.
