Vodka, often referred to as a woman's drink (why, though?), is the best summer alcoholic beverage for all genders, really. It is so because of its unique quality of adapting to and complementing the taste of pretty much anything it’s mixed with; be it orange juice, lime, or even coconut milk. The versatility of vodka (btw, did you know vodka means water in Russian?) is unparalleled.  This liquor which originated in Poland and Russia, and remained the true saviour of the people, given the harsh winters climates cause of its low freezing point, is now pretty universally available in India too. As the weekend approaches, we’re sharing our list of cheapest vodka in Delhi with you.

Note: Prices vary across states.

Smirnoff

Price: Rs 1190 for 1000ml

The best way to drink this: If you are having a flavoured one (available in vanilla, lime, green apple, and orange), drink it with a little bit of soda and water.

White Mischief

Price: Rs 455 for 750ml

The best way to drink this: If you are taking the original flavour, then I would recommend you to have it with some coconut water and a lot of ice. And if, you opt for a flavour, such as Strawberry and Ginseng, Mango and Mint, and Green Apple and Cinnamon, then have it with some soda or on the rocks. Furthermore, you can intensify the flavour by adding some real fruit.

Magic Moments

Price: Rs 370 for 750ml

The best way to drink this: This brand has six distinct flavours for you to choose from namely: Orange, Green Apple, Lemon, Lemongrass, Chocolate and Raspberry. So, we would recommend you to take the classic way and enjoy the flavoured ones with soda or water, and, of course, with a lot of ice to beat the heat.

Eristoff

Price: 790 for 750 ml

The best way to drink this: This vodka has three flavours to offer: Eristoff Original, Eristoff Apple, and Eristoff Green. We would recommend you to try having the original one with a hint of kaffir lime and soda or water. And for the flavoured ones, go with a lot of ice and water.

Absolut Mandrin

Price: INR 1,999 for 750ml (we know this isn't exactly cheap but it's a summer essential)

The best way to drink this: On the rocks or with some ginger ale and ice. If you are feeling more adventurous, you can try making a twisted milkshake by blending your choice of ice cream with the Absolut vodka.
