Celebrate National Vodka Day Right with Belvedere Vodka Cocktails

I love me a holiday where I can celebrate with a cocktail in hand! October 4th is National Vodka Day, and the best way to toast to the fun day is with the world’s first super-premium vodka, Belvedere. Made from Polish rye, purified water and a distillation process by fire, Belvedere contains zero additives, in accordance with the legal regulations of Polska Vodka that dictate nothing can be added, is certified kosher and is gluten free. 

 If there’s any vodka I order in a cocktail when I am out, it’s definitely Belvedere! So why not celebrate with it at home, too? Here’s a few of my favorite Belvedere cocktails to enjoy and to do National Vodka Day right!
