Can you mix vodka and rum together?
Cocktail Colin says:
Yes, you can mix vodka and rum together, as long as you like the flavour and you keep an eye on how quickly the alcohol adds up.
If you want the simplest, most reliable serves, stick to long drinks that dilute well over ice. With spiced rum, Spiced Rum And Coke and Spiced Rum And Sprite are straightforward, refreshing highballs that only need cola or lemon lime soda.
For vodka, citrus and bubbles are your best friends. Vodka Collins is an easy template built around lemon juice, a little sugar or syrup, and soda water, so you get a bright drink that is not too heavy.
If your goal is one drink that actually combines rum and vodka, go tropical. Caribbean Cruise mixes vodka with coconut rum and white rum, topped with pineapple juice and a dash of grenadine, so it tastes intentionally fruity rather than just strong.
Mixers to have in:
- Cola and lemon lime soda
- Soda water
- Lemon juice and sugar or simple syrup
- Pineapple juice and grenadine
If you prefer something shorter and sharper with vodka, Vodka Gimlet is another good citrus led option.
