Sometimes the best drinks are simple, where you can appreciate and taste the flavours without being overwhelmed by other components. You can enjoy a drink based on its flavour rather than its garnishes, just like Martinis or plain vodka with soda water. Vodka is perfect for mixing into simple two-ingredient cocktails.

When it comes to variety and ease of use, vodka reigns supreme. In this article, we will show you how to drink barley vodka as well as the best two-ingredient vodka cocktails.

1-The most significant component is alcohol.

A perfect cocktail should not hide its booziness; rather, it should embrace it. A cocktail is typically 50ml of the "base" alcohol (a double shot) plus a handful of extra ingredients. Use a liberal hand when it comes to spirits.


2-The second most significant element is ice.

In cocktails, ice performs two functions: it chills the drink and adds a little (but not too much) dilution.
