I’ve never been a big drinker and you can count on one hand the adult drinks that I consume within one year, usually at holiday or family gatherings. My husband’s friends, however, are big sports fans and they enjoy a casual drink here and there, especially when they get together to watch football. Last weekend, we hosted a football viewing party at our home and I thought it would be a great time to crack open the bottles of Ivanabitch Flavored Vodka that we had received for review.
A lot of the guys brought their wives to this gathering so I knew it was the perfect opportunity to try the low calorie vodka mixers that are on the infographic below. After all, most of these ladies are constantly trying to watch their figures and I know they even consider calories when they are enjoying adult beverages. I was right on and they were thrilled to be able to enjoy these mixed drinks while not having to worry about getting on that bathroom scale the next day.
My husband and his friends really loved these flavored vodkas. Their favorite one was the Blackberry Flavored Vodka. They enjoyed the smooth taste and stated that although it was sweet, the sweetness was not overpowering at all. I agree with them and have to admit that this one had my favorite taste of the ones I sampled. It had a hint of Blackberry that was just the right amount.
At the end of the day, sometimes it is important to have some adult time to spend without the kids and enjoy an adult beverage. This was certainly one of those events and we really enjoyed sampling these flavored vodkas. It is definitely a vodka with an attitude!

Man I need some vodka. I am currently obsessed with making low calorie cocktails with vodka.
Love the chart, very handy! Generally we keep some good table wines and beer on hand for entertaining, but sometimes like to make a signature cocktail for the party or a punch.
I rarely drink either, but if I am going too I like kahlua and cream. 🙂
I don’t know that I have a favorite cocktail. I’ve been more aware of my calorie consumption lately, so I like the idea of this being inline with that. I have a friend who is posting and making a different cocktail recipe every day of the government shutdown – it’s something her and her husband are doing to make this time kinda fun (for lack of a better word). I’ve gotten some nice ideas from her facebook this week.
I enjoy these types of drinks I think they are great for gatherings like the kind you did with friends and it is fun to try different flavors.
YUMMM.. you had me at Low Cal.. sooo going to try these.. thanks for the share and can’t wait to sit on the porch and sip on one 🙂 … I love Pina Colada …
When I do drink, I enjoy Vodka Gimlets, very nice cocktail. Reading your review got me thinking about how much better they would be using Ivanabitch Flavored Vodka 🙂
I would like to try this for the upcoming holidays! I’ve heard of it, but never tried it, and I think it would be a nice addition to the menu and snacks.
