17 Must-try Vanilla Vodka Drinks

Baileys Martini with a Vanilla Twist is one of my favorite ways to enjoy one of the world's most popular flavors - vanilla!

Baileys gives the drink a rich chocolate flavor that pairs well with the additional vanilla notes and smooths out the sharpness of the vodka.

I love making this drink for elegant cocktail events.

Cherry Vanilla Vodka Soda is the perfect beverage for a backyard barbecue on a hot summer day because it's bubbly, fruity, and refreshing.

Cherry and vanilla make a great combination because the cherry's tartness perfectly offsets the vanilla vodka's sweetness, creating a delightful balance.

I recommend this one to anyone looking for something fruity and light.

Orange Creamsicle Cocktail is another excellent choice for summertime events. It's like the adult version of licking a popsicle on a hot day.

The orange flavor gives the vodka a zesty, tangy edge, while the vanilla flavor mellows it out and adds a creamy texture to the drink.

A Pineapple Vodka Cocktail is a great choice for a tropical-inspired evening.

The pineapple gives the drink an exotic sweetness, while the vanilla vodka provides a smooth, creamy finish.

I recommend this for anyone who loves Pina Coladas but wants to drink vodka instead of rum.

The honorable mentions in this Vanilla Sky Vodka Cocktail are curacao, almond syrup, and pineapple juice.

Vanilla vodka goes well with these ingredients because the curacao adds an orange, slightly bitter touch, the almond adds a lovely nuttiness, and the pineapple juice ensures an enjoyable tangy note.

I love the overall complexity of this cocktail!

Lemon and vanilla are two flavors people don't often pair together but trust me about this Lemon Vanilla Vodka Cocktail.

Something about the sour punchiness of lemon juice and the delicate yet slightly floral notes of vanilla vodka creates an outstanding, dynamic balance on the tongue.

I like sipping on Vanilla Dream Cocktails when I'm looking for a light and refreshing daytime drink without any bubbles.

Sometimes a juicy beverage is better than a fizzy one, especially if I plan on eating a lot, such as at a barbecue or dinner party.

All it takes is a splash of orange and cranberry juices to create a lovely drink with vanilla vodka.

Blackberry and vanilla are a classic combination that instantly makes me think of pie.

This Blackberry Vanilla Vodka Martini is the perfect way to kick off an evening out on the town.

The vodka's sweetness is tamed by the tartness of the blackberry juice, and both flavors are enhanced by adding some fresh mint leaves.

If you're a fan of vanilla wafers, then you'll love this Nilla Wafer Martini.

The combination of creamy vanilla vodka and rich amaretto makes for an indulgent, dessert-like cocktail that you can enjoy anytime.

It's a great choice for after-dinner drinks or to impress special guests with something unique and sweet. I like adding sweet honey syrup for bonus points!

I usually don't go for drinks and food that contain lavender because it tends to taste like soap to me.

But when it's combined with vanilla vodka, that soapy taste goes away, and you're only left with a beautiful aromatic note that's to die for.

This cocktail is unique and charming, perfect for date nights.

I'm a huge fan of cheesecake, and I'll take it in any form. This Vanilla Cheesecake Cocktail is definitely one of my favorites!

It contains a mix of vanilla vodka, cream liqueur and amaretto, Kahlua, and honey for a rich and creamy taste reminiscent of a real cheesecake.

I recommend it for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries, or just when you want to treat yourself.

Another special dessert cocktail is a White Chocolate Martini.

The vanilla vodka in this martini adds a subtle flavor that plays nicely with the white chocolate liqueur, cream, and half-and-half.

This creamy, dreamy treat is perfect for a girls' night out or simply when you want to indulge in a sweet treat. There's no need for an extra sugar rim because the ingredients provide plenty of sweetness!

A Dirty Shirley Cocktail is a fun, alcoholic twist on a classic Shirley Temple.

Vanilla vodka and grenadine come together to make a cherry-flavored drink that's a bit sweet and a tad tart.

I think it's great for celebrations like the Fourth of July, Labor Day, or Memorial Day.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch was my favorite cereal growing up, so I was pleased to find this Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cocktail.

It includes both vanilla vodka and Fireball whiskey, so it might not necessarily be the best choice for breakfast.

However, the rumchata and cinnamon sugar ensure that it'll be the perfect post-dinner cocktail.

Another post-dinner cocktail I love is an Apple Pie Cocktail.

Like the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cocktail above, it also incorporates both vanilla vodka and Fireball whiskey.

To ensure the apple taste, mix in spiced apple cider and garnish with an apple slice.

I love Vanilla Cranberry Mimosas so much because they offer a fantastic combination of sweet and tart that's highly drinkable.

The vanilla vodka adds a hint of sweetness to the tart cranberry juice, creating an incredibly refreshing drink perfect for weekend brunches.

We've already discussed a pineapple martini similar to a pina colada, but if you're a fan of the coconut flavor, you won't want to skip this one.

Instead of coconut cream or milk like a regular pina colada, this cocktail stays true to its martini nature by incorporating Malibu coconut rum instead.
