SAVORY COCKTAILS

Savory vodka cocktails reveal The Standard Vodka’s versatility—where umami, herbs, and spice transform its clean profile into something unexpectedly complex. The Standard’s subtle sweetness (from its wheat base) and pepper finish elevate Bloody Marys, dirty martinis, and garden-fresh infusions alike, making it the ideal canvas for bold, savory experiments.

The Standard

Bloody Mary

  • 2 oz (60ml) The Standard 1894® vodka
  • 4 oz (120ml) tomato juice
  • ½ oz lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 dashes hot sauce (like Tabasco)
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch smoked paprika or celery salt
  • 1 pinch horseradish (optional, for extra kick)
  • Ice cubes
  • Garnish: Celery stalk, pickle spear, olives, or lemon wedge

Begin by filling a shaker or mixing glass with ice. Pour in The Standard 1894® vodka, rich tomato juice, and a bright splash of lemon juice. Layer in Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, freshly cracked pepper, and your choice of smoked paprika or celery salt—adding horseradish for extra bite if desired. Stir (or shake gently) until the mixture is thoroughly chilled and harmoniously blended. Strain the vibrant cocktail into a tall glass packed with fresh ice, traditionally a highball or pint glass. Crown your creation with a crisp celery stalk, briny pickle spear, plump olives, or a cheerful lemon wedge—the perfect finishing touch to this savory masterpiece.
