Less Is More: Two-Ingredient Cocktails for the Sophisticated Minimalist

Less Is More: Two-Ingredient Cocktails for the Sophisticated Minimalist

Sometimes simplicity is key. Here are some two-ingredient, simple vodka cocktails to easily make and enjoy at home.

You don’t have to have exotic ingredients or a lot of time on your hands to make an excellent cocktail. Sometimes all you need is a premium vodka and one mixer.

We keep things naturally simple by creating GREY GOOSE​ ® Vodka with only two ingredients — the finest French winter wheat from Picardie and the finest limestone-filtered spring water, distilled only once to honour the flavours of these exquisite ingredients.

This silky smooth texture and unique depth of taste pairs nicely with a variety of mixers to provide you sophisticated cocktails in no time. Check out these easy vodka cocktails that contain minimal ingredients and maximum flavour.

Combine Grey Goose Vodka with Soda

If you’re looking for a simple vodka cocktail, Grey Goose Essences are made for mixing. These vodkas are infused with real fruit and botanical essences and come in the flavours of Strawberry & Lemongrass, Watermelon & Basil and White Peach & Rosemary. Because the complexity of the flavour is already infused into the vodka, all you have to do is add soda water for a sophisticated taste.

You can also mix Grey Goose Vodka with soda for a classic cocktail with a smooth and nuanced taste. Or use lime-flavored soda water as in our Vodka Lime and Soda Cocktail for more fruit flavor.

Try Grey Goose with Juice

Many more classic cocktails are made by mixing vodka with fruit juice. The Grey Hound combines Grey Goose Vodka with grapefruit juice, while the Vodka Cranberry is a timeless classic. You can get creative and mix it with your favourite flavour.

The Martini Cocktail: Surprisingly Simple

While it’s true most martini cocktail recipes call for bitters, and a martini cocktail would feel naked without its garnish, you can technically make one with only two ingredients: just vodka and vermouth. You can also experiment to make one exactly to your taste at home by playing with the proportions.

The French Mule: Easy Entertaining

Like the martini cocktail, this one is cheating the two-ingredient rule just a bit. You can technically make a French Mule with just vodka and ginger beer, but a little lime juice and ginger will also go a long way. It’s still an easy drink to make that tastes complex.

Maybe Even Try a One-Ingredient “Cocktail”

Two ingredients still too much? Then Grey Goose on the rocks may be your signature serve. It’s a crisp, uncompromised classic that lets our naturally sophisticated taste shine through. So it’s really a one-ingredient cocktail … unless you count the ice.

If you’re ready for recipes with slightly more ingredients, you can also browse our simple cocktail collection or all our cocktail recipes, filtering for those with a difficulty rating of easy.
