Three simple vodka cocktails that don't need a full bar.

You don't need a fully stocked bar to make great cocktails. Sometimes, the best drinks are the simplest ones. Here are three vodka cocktails you can make with ingredients you probably already have at home. **The Vodka Soda (But Better)** 2 oz Fat Dog Vodka 4 oz club soda Lime wedge Fill a highball glass with ice. Add vodka, top with club soda, and squeeze in the lime. It's simple, refreshing, and lets the vodka shine. The key is using good vodka—you'll actually taste the difference. **The Vodka Gimlet** 2 oz Fat Dog Vodka 1 oz fresh lime juice 3/4 oz simple syrup Shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass. This is a classic for a reason: it's balanced, bright, and incredibly easy to make. The vodka's clean character works perfectly with the tart lime. **The Moscow Mule** 2 oz Fat Dog Vodka 4 oz ginger beer Lime wedge Build in a copper mug (or any glass) filled with ice. Add vodka, top with ginger beer, and squeeze in the lime. The spicy ginger beer pairs beautifully with our smooth vodka, creating a drink that's both refreshing and flavorful. The common thread? Good vodka makes all the difference. When you're working with simple ingredients, the quality of your base spirit really shows through.
