Bank Holiday Cocktail: The ODDKA Flower Bud


A few months ago, when ODDKA sent me their crazy new vodka flavours to try, I was pretty much sure it would be a fun novelty drink (probably pretty tasty) but only the sort of thing I'd use to show off at parties.

While Oddka vodkas definitely make a good talking point (electricity flavour vodka, anyone?) they're actually much, much more than a novelty. A case in point is the gloriousness that is ODDKA's Twisted Melon flavour: it was the surprising runaway hit of the night when my family, friends and I reviewed the ODDKA range and just burst with authentic fruit flavours. It's also not as sweet as you'd expect - so it doesn't leave your mouth all sugary.

I really enjoyed drinking the twisted melon vodka neat, over ice, but the Oddka guys just sent me a bank holiday cocktail - The Flower Bud - that blew my mind. It's summery, fresh and moreish, and bursting with fruit flavour.

No, the weather forecast isn't exactly brilliant for the weekend, but hey - it ain't raining yet...
