Exotic Elixirs with Akvinta Vodka

One of the best and smoothest tasting vodkas I’ve had is the 100% organic Akvinta. Triple distilled from Italian wheat and made with pure Croatian water, this Mediterranean based vodka is filtered through some of the world’s most precious commodities- charcoal, marble, silver, gold & platinum to create the clearest and cleanest liquor possible so no nasty hangovers the next day even after a night of hard partying.
The best thing about it is that it mixes smoothly with the delicious exotic fruits and juices from Southeast Asia.

Here’s a sampling of our favorite recipes:

Muddle 3 Strawberries and the Gomme and Grenadine, add Akvinta Vodka and the Juices. Shake and double strain into a martini glass. Then add Blue Curacao – this will separate to the bottom of the glass – and Garnish with a Lychee.

The Red is the cocktail, the White is Lychee and the blue is Curacao.
