May 2012: Vodka Cocktail Contest

As I revive the cocktail contest after its winter rest, I want to give everyone a blank canvas to work with. It does not get much more transparent then when we work with vodka as the base and that is the theme of this month's contest.

This should be an easy one for most because vodka is the most versatile spirit in the cocktail world. However, the? challenge here is greater because in order to impress us your drink needs to be creatively designed, not simply a spiked juice drink, for instance.? We will be looking for ingenuity, craft, and a nice complement for the vodka of choice. As always, I'm open to manipulating the vodka itself (i.e. infusions) or using a store-bought flavored vodka (including those new dessert vodkas like the Smirnoff's Marshmallow used in the Dark 'n Fluffy pictured). The deadline on this one is the 31st.

Have fun with this one, show us that signature vodka cocktail that you have been dying to share. I look forward to seeing what you have.
