10 vodka cocktails with only 1 bottle!

🚀 Check out my top 20 tips for making better drinks at home: join.stevethebartender.com.au...
These 10 easy vodka cocktails are designed with simplicity in mind. You don't need an overwhelming number of bottles to make drinks at home. With only a single bottle of Grey Goose vodka and a few staples you can make all 10 of these tasty cocktails. If you want to start simple then try a 2-ingredient highball such as the Moscow Mule (13:52) or Cape Codder (04:09)? Otherwise, try the Basil Cooler (00:39) for something citrusy and herbal. Or maybe my favourite vodka cocktail, the Caipiroska (02:03)!

[@jasonsulham1979]

Cape codder

[@drax14QC]

The classic Cosmo! Dale Degroff recipe 🍸

[@jamieswedler2793]

The US indeed has a non-alcoholic beverage called apple cider. As Ned Flanders says, "If it's clear and yella, you got juice there fella. If it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town."

[@andribassi8617]

Steve's preparing us for summer and i absolutely here for it

[@Horst-aus-der-Tube]

Love the "one bottle" series ... is it a series, yet?! It should! :)

[@StevetheBartender_]

Yep! It’s officially a series! 🤘

[@Mojito6429]

His smile when he is using the shaker gots me dying 😂. That made this video even better

[@mimaw69]

Now rum drinks! ❤

[@Raptor0256]

i like this format. too often you buy a bottle of spirits and make a few cocktails, this way you have many ideas for the one spirit, and the fact youve kept them so simple is awesome. its funny how so many are similar, just changing out the spirit. for example a moscow mule is essentially a dark and story, substituting the vodka for rum. that caipiroska almost looks like a more rustic daquiri, which gives me ideas...

[@greygoose]

There’s something for everyone in this stellar cocktail line-up!

[@luzandreammmmm]

Grey Goose is always a good idea :D

[@yolandagarcia6247]

On your Bloody Mary: for that being your first time "throwing a drink", you did very well, so seamlessly, you looked as if you have done it quite a bit!

[@AlfonsoVallarta]

That "grapefruit vodka" hack is about to make my Cosmos so much more accurate without the need for a citrus vodka that I'd use for nothing else. 🤘🏻

[@tinchothegreat3743]

I know this isnt your typical video, but thank you for making it! Making the more fancy cocktails for my family tends to be a bust, so this helps more than you can imagine 😂

[@cam4short]

New to the Mixology scene! I love this series! Thank you! ❤

[@Avocado818]

I made that grapefruit cooler, WOW probably one of the best drinks I've ever had! Thank you!!!

[@kevinsorensen367]

Finally some actually simple recipes i can try at home

[@sakirozture5520]

Thank you Steve

[@BrianSinai]

Great video. No fuss, just plenty of inspiration for everyone to make the most out of one bottle.

[@peterpatrick9017]

Waohhhh congratulations sounds much better and very simple 🎉

[@TheSpiritoftheCocktail]

STEVE!!! This was great!!! Vodka cocktails don't get enough play, IMO. I LOVE a Cape Codder!!!! CHEERS!!!

[@Pastroni89]

You can blanch the basil leaves before blending them into the syrup, and it will stay green for weeks! Saw this trick from Jeff Morgenthaler, he uses it for mint but it works great with basil also.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Thanks for the tip! 🙏

[@boozeontherocks]

Fantastic Steve., What a a great selection and a great Vodka.

[@SindySaalfeld]

Just tried the Pineapple Martini. And I love it ❤ ... thanks for the great videos ... cheers

[@nicholasmwangome7979]

Good demonstration of cocktail 🎉🎉

[@meff999]

CAIPIROSKA best one , thank. you. Steve ,

[@shaybenhaj9]

I Love your smile while shaking it

[@TheGragsel]

Even though we don't see you taste the drinks it does seems like your mood becomes more loose towards the end of the video :D Love this format!

[@mrspof]

Just tried the Salty Dog today. Oh my. What a great drink! Thanks for getting me to try it!

[@martaczina]

Thanks!

[@CaribbeanLife101]

All look delicious

[@miguelsanchez1979curucutuy]

I love your cocktails brooo😊

[@AngryCocktails]

Some real party starters here!

[@user-kf5wn8lq5p]

Steve, I love your channel and I love the single bottle format, hoping to see one for a gin bottle in the future!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Most definitely!

[@Rombororom]

The video won't be the same without that smile 1:25. Thanks for the video

[@charlesclimineda8080]

This should be made to a series. I really love the 'one bottle different cocktails' idea.

[@StevetheBartender_]

It is - I've done two so far.. vodka and bourbon cocktails.

[@mybartender]

This video showcasing 10 vodka cocktails with just one bottle is an absolute game-changer! It's a brilliant concept that proves you don't need an extensive liquor cabinet to create a variety of delicious and impressive drinks.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Glad you enjoyed the video and concept 😀 we'll be doing this for other spirits in the coming months too!

[@SweetSherry24]

Hello Steve, I Love how you explained and teach so simple.I stumbled upon your channel. Because I was looking for a simple to make cocktails. Been looking for a nice video so, I can learn more about making cocktails. And I was preparing for my mom's Izakaya (Japanese bar ) Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills in bartering. I love watching your videos.Your new fan in Tokyo 🇯🇵🌸🌸🌸🌷🌷🌷🍀🍀

[@dwarden3]

Bloody Mary with a pickle spear is GREAT!

[@lesliebowles3649]

In Canada we use “Clamato” juice and call it a Caesar. Delicious

[@tshegotheefairy888]

At this point, that smile 🙌

[@jimmwagner]

Looks like a new camera and some LUTs. I appreciate the effort to make everything about the channel better Steve!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Only 1 new light - I think it looks much better though!

[@markrichardson4431]

Hey Steve! I have your app for the cocktails and just wanted to know if you we update it to add in more and different cocktails? Love the videos and channel!

[@PonceDeLeon710]

Ahhh..I remember watching a video of you making a caipiroska years ago. I ended up making them all the time, so good.

[@StevetheBartender_]

It’s a great drink! Have you tried a Caipirinha (with cachaca)?

[@jaskamakynen7766]

Thumbs up to Appletini. Was much better than anticipated, the maple syrup was a good twist! For personal drink I think I'll add a tad bit more lime and have to find a Vodka which has more rawness than the one I used.

[@isaactristan2593]

Te amo steve me caes muy bien

[@kelvinmanyambo7923]

Wow Steve you are the bomb my guy I.m a mixologist by profession ever since I learned cocktails I haven't been able to combine grapefruit and alcohol but I.m going to give it a try thanks for thee heads up Steve well done cocktail boss😮😊will definitely let you know on greyhound salty dog and the grape fruit cooler

[@christophertitanium8424]

Grey Goose and lemon lime Gatorade was my go-to drink in my...ahem.. younger days. 😂

[@gabrielstrong2186]

This was great to watch and great inspiration. Just one question, for the Cape Codder was the Cranberry Juice pure unsweetened?

[@nullasalus3]

I gotta admit that vodka is probably my least favorite spirit, but now I'm sipping a caipiroska because of this video, and it's delightful. I love a caipirinha, so it's not surprising this is also a great drink. Cheers, Steve!

[@MusliKastrati]

Hi Steve, im very far away, but one day i will travel to your bar and you will make me the best cocktail ever okey ?🤝. Keep up your great work. You are a great guy and your videos are so professional and sometimes i just watch it even if i dont wanna learn about cocktails but i watch it because its so satisfying to watch when you do your work with that passion💪. Greetings from Germany

[@ugislayer6793]

Thanks for the list good for under age because don't have access to drink stores love from finland

[@GreenWitch1]

A salty dog is my drink of choice. I like mine more bitter & less sweet, so always made with white grapefruit juice. Yum!!

[@christownley5262]

You had me at Scrubs…. Off to add cluudy Apple juice to the shopping list!

[@paulemge9156]

Great video as always, going to try some of these, but I'm going to have to take your word on that bloody Mary :)

[@frankquinby5502]

Looks like you’re a pro at throwing a drink!🎉

[@StevetheBartender_]

I was fairly happy with my first attempt! 😊

[@philipschmidt1801]

I love the way you shake the drinks, so annoying when a bartender shakes it twice and serves it…. Really? Great video as usual!

[@lilian2570]

I was watching Eurovision and the guy from Voyager looks like you. i love your channel btw.

[@1Jetsurf]

Best part about vodka drinks is, you can switch it out for any other clear spirit depending on which fits best!

[@bandanatamang1886]

Bloody marry is my favourite

[@ShivamSingh-yl7jo]

How do you remember all that? Lot of permutation and combinations

[@BallasInc23]

The old friend looks right up my alley. thoughts on switching the proportions of the St.G and Campari?

[@KaiFuzzybutt]

Steve's been sponsored by grey goose? Wow. Props Steve. Good on you mate.

[@gabrielpita11]

2:06 the way you sait it makes it sound like a russian word 😅 just kiddin man, love your videos

[@draigun83]

"Simply Apple" has pressed apple juice in the states if they need the cloudy kind.

[@jgutierrez8024]

What's next for the series .......... Rum? Thank you Steve great stuff. Cheers/Salud.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Unsure… rum or gin.. 🤔

[@dkoppenol]

Whats the tweak of the appletini?

[@mr.skidmarks1034]

Greygoose vodka just makes me think of Honey Duece drink made in US opens 😂

[@stephane.foisy.186]

Something for everyone in this video! Though i'm a sucker for the White Russian.

[@StevetheBartender_]

…but it couldn’t make the list because of the second ingredient 😬

[@raphaelhennekeij1607]

You can blanch the basil first for the basil syrup

[@StevetheBartender_]

Yes, you can.

[@Justinwilson32]

🍹💙🔥🔥🔥

[@j777]

I prefer Bloody Ceasars with the Clamato juice they have in Québec (not tomato juice)

[@robd10121983]

do you have an ice machine. if so what one do you have? mine has tiny ice cubes

[@jwebes]

If it's clear and yella, you've got juice there, fella. If it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town!

[@tylerpidlubny3472]

In Canada we enjoy a Bloody Cesar instead of a Bloody Mary. Its pretty much the same but no tomatoe juice. It has clamato juice.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Just to double check - clamato juice is a mixture of tomato juice and clam broth?? I don't think I've seen that in Aus before

[@tylerpidlubny3472]

@StevetheBartenderAUS Yes that is right. As I mentioned on another video of yours, claimato juice and beer is also great together. I'd go have in half. Motts is the best brand of clamato juice. They also sell cans of different Bloody Cesar's including a gin version of the cocktail.

[@RyanMeldrum100]

Curious, what does he do with all the drinks he makes?

[@amarkert]

You forgot to add the lemon juice to your app for the grapefruit cooler. @Steve

[@AmericanPie1960]

If you shake vigorously, 10-12 seconds but if it's a softer slow shake, just shake longer? We all aren't as big and strong as you Steve!

[@StevetheBartender_]

No need, 10 seconds is adequate

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey Steve. Basil 🌿 is questionable 🤨. But it’s a syrup so will try. The Capiroska would like. Love citrus and sweet. The cape codder too tart. Pineapple 🍍 🍸 one of my fav. Don’t care for grapefruit cocktails. Like appletini’s. Love Moscow mules. Like drinks with ginger 🫚 beer. No bloody Mary’s. Don’t like tomatoe juice. Great vid. Thanks so much and see you next video

[@TheSpiritoftheCocktail]

6TH?!?!?!=============>YESSSSSSSS!!!

[@meff999]

I forgot to ask maybe will be nice to do. a 1 bottle of Pisco challenge ? thank you

[@StevetheBartender_]

Any recipes suggestions apart from the sour? 🧐

[@TVSilex]

Nice video, cool format, but FRENCH vodka? Expensive french vodka for cocktails?

[@StevetheBartender_]

Why not use good ingredients?

[@jeremyherz1969]

Cloudy apple juice in the states is just unfiltered apple juice

[@StevetheBartender_]

Do some call it cider?

[@dcseain]

Where i live. Old Bay, mushroom, and dill with a Bloody Mary is not uncommon.

[@yolondafowler4285]

Is the second cocktail in your cocktail recipe book?

[@tommccafferty5591]

if you didn't want the granularity of a salted rim, could you use a saline solution?

[@StevetheBartender_]

Absolutely! 👍

[@olivermartin8998]

omg you have gunpowder

[@gabrielstrong2186]

Ginger ale tastes like dishwater, Ginger Beer is the only option

[@bryanneal7889]

Nice video with a great set of drinks! Nice touch with porny background music...lol.

[@bigbrotherisasob]

Gatorade and Vodka is a great drink. Check it out some time. I usually use the Lemonade, or the Fruit Punch, or the Orange Gatorade flavors.

[@hplarcm]

I haven't been here for a while. Why Steve doesn't taste cocktails? At least on screen

[@StevetheBartender_]

I do ordinarily, just not this video…

[@Rverma30]

The goose is loose

[@robwright3064]

Are all these in your book?!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Not these vodka cocktails..

[@Miaouterspace7]

I loved the grapefruit drinks however if you have to be on some medicines you cannot drink it. (sad face)

[@myliquorbazaar8437]

Tell me Uk price

[@StevetheBartender_]

You’ll have to Google it.

[@aidenw6862]

isnt there like 25 shots in a bottle

[@StevetheBartender_]

23.3 x 30ml measures in a 700ml bottle.

[@S1oviSH]

There is only nine cocktails, mate

[@StevetheBartender_]

There are 10.

[@stevebikes995]

Scrubs!!!

[@andriespoelman264]

Thanks @StevetheBartender_ , this is literally taking Bloody Mary to a higher level.
