5 Vodka Cocktails to Celebrate Pride  

​Pride is celebrated around the world at various times throughout the year, showcasing the global spirit of LGBTQ+ unity. In the United States, Pride Month, also known as LGBTQ Pride Month, is observed every June. Meanwhile, other countries host their own pride celebrations, each adding its unique flair to the ongoing celebration of diversity and inclusion.

Here at Absolut, we believe Pride is something that should be celebrated every day. We’ve put together a list of five of the best Vodka cocktails to make at home whenever you choose to celebrate Pride!

These vodka cocktails cover every color of the rainbow, ensuring everyone’s tastes are celebrated. Cheers to that!

Screwdriver

With just two ingredients – Absolut Vodka and fresh-squeezed Orange Juice – the Screwdriver showcases how two elements, no matter how different from each other, can unite to form a perfect whole.

So simple yet so perfect, the Screwdriver is one of the most popular cocktails around the world. Discover the recipe for a Screwdriver cocktail.

Cosmopolitan

We asked Ricardo ‘Rico’ Dynan, Absolut Global Brand Ambassador, what he thinks of the Cosmopolitan. “It’s a citrus phenomenon,” he says. And he’s not the only one who thinks that.

The Cosmo is one of the most beloved cocktails in the world, ranking #2 on the list of the most popular cocktails of last year. Known for its signature pink hue and tart citrus flavors, a classic Cosmopolitan mixes Absolut Citron (Lemon-Flavored Vodka), Triple Sec, Sweetened Cranberry Juice, and Fresh Lime Juice. Check out the recipe for a Cosmopolitan.

Blue Andy

Let the Blue Andy inspire you—it’s a cocktail that boldly stands out and embraces its uniqueness! Its vibrant electric blue color turns heads for all the right reasons.

Made with Absolut Vodka, Apple Juice, and Blue Curaçao, topped up with Lemonade and garnished with a Lime Wedge, the Blue Andy cocktail is a fabulous blend of fruity and citrusy flavors.

Vodka Basil Smash

The Vodka Basil Smash combines Absolut Vodka with the tartness of Lemon Juice, a touch of Simple Syrup to sweeten things up, and welcome twist of muddled Basil Leaves for a uniquely delicious experience.

This drink proves that when you mix things up, you get a smashing success! Just like Pride, it’s all about celebrating the unexpected and finding joy in the blend.

Pornstar Martini

The Pornstar Martini struts its stuff with style, flaunting a glamorous blend of Absolut Vanilia (Vanilla-Flavored Vodka), Vanilla Syrup, fresh Passion Fruit, and muddled Pineapple, all paired with a cheeky shot of Champagne or Prosecco on the side.
