Vodka Drinks at a Bar: What the Label Has to Mean

Updated March 2026

There is no official best vodka drink to order at a bar. A screwdriver is vodka plus orange juice — not a ranking. US vodka bottles at least 40%. Tito’s official this project: 40% / 80 / 98 cal / 1.5 oz. IBA Cosmopolitan this project: 40 / 15 / 15 / 30 (vodka / Cointreau / lime / cranberry). Juice and soda are 0%. A 1.5-ounce 40% pour is one NIAAA drink. No 2026 crown.

Related: screwdriver vodka, vodka mixers, cranberry drinks.
