Caramel vodka is a fairly versatile vodka that you can use in different kinds of drinks.

Finding the best caramel vodkas to drink can be a challenge for those who aren’t familiar with flavored vodkas.

Read on to learn more about the best caramel vodkas that are worth trying. 


Effen Salted Caramel Vodka

Caramel-flavored vodka includes several variations, such as salted caramel.

The best salted caramel vodka is Effen Salted Caramel Vodka. Mixing sweet and salty in an alcoholic beverage is tough, but the Effen brand pulls it off.

This salted caramel vodka has a subtly sweet and salty flavor that combines with a moderate spiciness that perfectly suits vodka-tasting notes. 

If you like sweet and salty, you should also check out peanut butter whiskeys.


Pinnacle Salted Caramel French Vodka

Pinnacle usually gets attention for its whipped cream vodka, but the Pinnacle Salted Caramel French Vodka is also worth noting.

This French vodka has a satisfying sweetness and a creamy finish.

I like to drink this vodka with a glass of ginger ale, but some vodka enthusiasts prefer to drink this beverage straight or on the rocks. 


Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Vodka

Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Vodka is a beloved favorite for flavored vodka fans.

The caramel flavor in this vodka is distinct without tasting unnatural or detracting from the quality of the vodka. 

This version of caramel vodka tastes especially good when included in a sweet vodka cocktail, such as a caramel mule.

Stoli Salted Caramel Vodka

For a premium autumnal vodka experience, try out Stoli Salted Caramel Vodka.

This caramel vodka combines caramel flavors with a hint of English toffee for a well-rounded palate. 

Since this is a salted caramel vodka, the savory finish helps soften the sharpness of the sweeter flavors.

As a result, Stoli is probably the best caramel vodka for a more traditional cocktail, such as a caramel martini.

Van Gogh Dutch Caramel Vodka

Not everyone is familiar with the Van Gogh vodka brand, but this distillery consistently produces intriguing flavored vodkas.

Van Gogh Dutch Caramel Vodka draws inspiration from Dutch caramel to create a sweet, light beverage.

This caramel vodka tastes best in a ginger ale-based cocktail.

You can garnish the ginger ale and caramel vodka with either lime or a cherry, depending on your tastes. 


Todka XS Salted Caramel Vodka

Todka XS Salted Caramel Vodka has a complex flavor palette that distinguishes it from the rest of the caramel vodka brands.

Although this vodka is labeled as a caramel beverage, it incorporates several other flavors, including vanilla and chocolate brownie.

This vodka is extremely decadent, so I like to incorporate it into dessert dishes. You can use it for an adult ice cream sundae or add it to a cup of coffee.
