Each year since 2009, October 4th has been celebrated as National Vodka Day. Although not an official holiday, it’s a great reason to celebrate socialize with friends and family.

At bars and pubs, mixologists are likely dreaming about great, vodka cocktail recipes. One important ingredient should be a top vodka, such as GREY GOOSE. Try a GREY GOOSE Martini and so if you get hooked!
