There’s certainly no wrong way to gift a nice bottle of liquor. While the more “luxurious” bottlings of fine whiskey are often upheld as the perfect gift option, that’s not always to everyone’s taste. Some people prefer the light, versatile, and infinitely mixable taste of an excellent vodka instead.
Luckily, there’s never been a bigger or better selection of high-end, craft, and artisanal options from all corners of the vodka world. From the most expertly made flavored expressions just waiting for the perfect cocktail to the best naturally flavorful sipping vodkas for a simple, neat pour.
Rest assured, there is something to please the vodka lover on your list — from the wildest cocktail connoisseur to the most vehement purist.
Fuzzbutt Vodka
Created and named in honor of the founders’ beloved canine, Fuzzbutt was designed from the get-go to celebrate the best things in the world: a simple, relaxing cocktail and our favorite four-legged friends.
Utilizing exclusively non-GMO corn and a state-of-the-art, eighteen-plate column still system for the most neutral spirit possible, the result is a perfectly clean vodka aimed squarely at the martini lover.
A bottle of Fuzzbutt makes a wonderful gift for any dog lover as well; 50% of profits from bottle sales are donated directly to canine charities focused on adoption, fostering, and senior care. Who could say no to that?
Van Gogh Double Espresso Vodka
Arguably no drink dominates the after-work wind-down sessions and cocktail happy hour in the past few years quite like the Espresso Martini. It’s a staple at this point!
So if you need the perfect Secret Santa bottle for the Espresso Martini-craving coworker in your office, you need the Van Gogh Double Espresso Vodka.
Long the standout as the top-tier option for espresso-flavored vodka, Van Gogh is likely to make a quality and more flavorful martini than you can get at your local cocktail bar, and gifting a bottle will make you the talk of your office in all the best ways.
Grey Goose Essences Collection
If that special person you’re buying for goes wild for a fruity cocktail, there’s no better or more delicately fruit-flavored option than Grey Goose’s Essences. Each expression features a beautifully balanced combination of fruit and aromatics, perfectly paired to create White Peach and Rosemary, Watermelon and Basil, and Strawberry and Lemongrass.
Each bottle has only real, naturally infused fruit and no added sugars. All of the Essences wholly avoid the cloying sweetness or artificiality of lesser flavored vodkas, providing an ideal platform for the most refreshing — and refreshingly simple — homemade mixes.
If a fruity vodka cocktail lover is on your list, you can’t go wrong with a gift basket featuring all three of Grey Goose’s Essences. Throw in some bottles of the best tonic or soda water, and you’ll have a vodka gift set they’ll be thanking you for all year long.
QURI Peruvian Quinoa Vodka
If you thought Ireland was an unexpected point of origin for vodka, then you’ll be blown away by Peru’s QURI.
Daringly distilled from South American quinoa, QURI has crafted a truly revelatory take on vodka with an offering bursting with bold and surprising natural flavors. Hints of sweet chocolate, bright citrus, and savory nuttiness make this the ideal gift for any collector of the wildest and most creative spirits. Or anyone that keeps a fully stocked home bar.
You can be sure that no matter how much of a completionist they are, they don’t have anything quite like QURI.
Snow Leopard Vodka
How about some more love for the animals? If you need a spirits gift for someone with a soft spot for the more exotic side of wildlife, look no further than Snow Leopard Vodka.
In addition to donating a percentage of sales to conservation charities centered on the majestic beast, the spirit pays homage to nature's timeless wonder by distilling from spelt, an ancient wheat grain that produces a uniquely spiced and particularly nutty vodka.
This makes Snow Leopard Vodka an unbeatable addition to that king of creamy, wintery cocktails — the White Russian. So if that’s the drink of choice for anyone on your list, wrap a bottle of Snow Leopard up with their favorite Irish Cream and prepare to be the most popular gift-giver at the party.
Figenza Mediterranean Fig Vodka
Distilled six times for stunning clarity and flavored with ripe Mediterranean figs from Greece and Turkey, Figenza Vodka is in a class of flavor all on its own.
However, add it to some ginger beer and ice in a copper mug, and you’ve got a Mule for the ages. Every home bar needs a set of authentic copper mugs, and every home cocktail connoisseur needs a vodka as versatile and unique as Figenza.
We’ve made it easy for you to pair both with the trusty and spicy Fever Tree Ginger Beer for a Mule kit that’s guaranteed to spark some gift envy.
Dingle Irish Vodka
Ireland isn’t generally among the first places you think of to produce vodka, but make no mistake, the nation’s legendary distilling culture takes their neutral spirits just as seriously as their whiskey.
Case in point: Dingle Distillery’s Irish Vodka.
Made by re-distilling grain spirit through a classically styled Irish copper pot still, Dingle creates an expressive, full-bodied vodka with the same semi-sweetness you’d expect from the best pot still whiskey.
If you’re searching for a gift for someone who enjoys a vodka neat or on the rocks, unencumbered by added flavorings or gimmicks, Dingle is easily your best bet.
