Made using fresh strawberries and citron, this drink is a revitalizing Cosmo. Muddle 1 oz Cointreau with ¼ oz fresh lemon juice and 3 fresh strawberries. Mix in 1.5 oz citron vodka along with ice cubes, shake well, and then, strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with a fresh strawberry and serve.

A completely tangy drink, this makes one of the favorite choices as New Year cocktails. Served in a chilled glass and garnished with lemon wedges, this is a fresh, yet tipsy drink!

 

3. Absolut Lemonade

Absolut Lemonade

The name says it all! You need not be a pro to mix this drink. Just mix 1 oz each of citron vodka and amaretto almond liqueur with 2 oz of sweet and sour mix. Add ice, top off with generous amounts of Sprite, and serve garnished with a maraschino cherry.

 

4. Daydream Martini

Daydream Martini

Take a journey down the lanes of a wonderful dream with this drink. Stir 3 oz citron with half an ounce of triple sec, one ounce of fresh orange juice, and ¼ teaspoon sugar. The mixture should be prepared in a glass half-filled with ice, after which it should be strained into a martini glass. Serve garnished with a lemon wedge.

 

5. Sexual Trance

Sexual Trance

Let the spell of a wonderful romantic night remain ablaze with this drink. One of the perfect Valentines’ Day cocktails, it can be prepared by mixing 1 oz citron vodka with half an ounce each of Midori, raspberry liqueur, orange juice, pineapple juice, and a splash of sweet and sour mix. Strain into an ice-filled martini glass, garnish with cherry, and serve.

 

6. Sex On The Beach

An intoxicating and exhilarating drink, this is a perfect holiday cocktail. Mix 1.25 oz citron vodka and 1 oz strawberry schnapps in a half ice-filled highball glass. Top off with 6 oz orange juice and mix in ¼ oz cream. Mix well and serve!

Sip this blue-hued drink relaxing yourself near your pool! Stir 2 oz citron with 1 oz Blue Curacao and half an ounce each of grapefruit juice and sugar syrup in a mixing glass along with ice. Strain into a chilled highball glass, garnish with a maraschino cherry, and serve.

 

8. Magic Mountain Dew

Magic Mountain Dew

I love Mountain Dew as such and when it blends with citron and triple sec, it gets a novel dimension in terms of flavors and tipsiness. Shake equal portions of citron vodka and triple sec in a shaker, filled 50% with ice cubes. Strain into a highball glass, top off with Mountain Dew, double the quantity of the alcohols used, stir briefly, and serve.

Thunder Peel

Shake 1 part of citrus soda with 2 shots of citron vodka, 1 part strawberry daiquiri mix, and 2 parts peach schnapps well. Allow to chill well before you serve the drink garnished with lemon wedge.

Vicious Kiss

A great cocktail to impress you partner, it is prepared by stirring 3 oz citron vodka with 2 dashes cherry juice and 2 splashes of lime juice gently in a cordial glass. Add ice cubes, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve.
