Traditional Caesar Recipe made with Zirkova Together Vodka

This post was developed in sponsorship with Zirkova Vodka

While staying at home during this time, I have been experimenting a ton in the kitchen- especially with cocktails. For me, there’s nothing I enjoy more than a traditional caesar with brunch and I always top it with a tasty garnish. For this recipe, I decided to make a candied bacon garnish! Recently, I discovered Zirkova Vodka- a Ukrainian Vodka brand, founded by Canadians and I have been adding it to all of my vodka-based cocktails, and of course; my caesars! 

I first found out about Zirkova when I was in the LCBO, and that’s when I discovered that Zirkova makes not just one, but two unique ultra-premium vodkas. Zirkova One is specifically made to enjoy neat, on the rocks, whereas Zirkova Together is to enhance cocktails. For any of my vodka-based cocktail recipes, it is always important to me that I am using a high-quality vodka, as I find that my drink tastes noticeably better. 

One thing that I really enjoy about Zirkova Vodka is that this vodka is inclusive to everyone, as it is gluten free! Now, when you visit your local LCBO- you will actually find that the Zirkova bottles are now labeled gluten free. It’s always great to have a vodka in the house that is accessible for everyone and suits all lifestyles and dietary needs (it’s also vegan friendly).
