Make My Monday: Oscar-Themed Cocktails from Voli Vodka


If you haven't already tried Voli Vodka, we'd suggest you rush to the ABC store now and get yourself a bottle. Normally we're anti flavored vodkas, but this low-calorie spirit is truly a new favorite of ours. We normally mix with seltzer for a simple sip, but if you're hosting an Oscars bash you might like to spice it up a bit with these great recipes!
