This year marks the 20^th anniversary of Grey Goose, “the world’s best-tasting vodka”. To celebrate, the coveted brand has fashioned a limited edition Riviera bottle arrayed with blue Breton stripes, Impressionist brushstrokes and a graphic avian motif. The fetching design, which evokes the company’s French heritage, fits right into outdoor entertaining in Australia.

This party season, we’ll be serving these vodka-laced cocktails while hosting guests at home.

Grey Goose Le Grand Fizz: The signature drink is a sumptuous twist on the classic spritz. Add 45ml Grey Goose and 20ml St-Germain Elderflower liqueur to a large wine glass filled with ice. Then squeeze two fresh lime wedges, top with chilled soda water, stir and garnish with fresh lime wedges.

Grey Goose L’Orange Grand Fizz: An orange version of the summery libation for citron enthusiasts. Add 45ml Grey Goose L’Orange and 20ml St-Germain Elderflower liqueur to a large wine glass filled with ice. Then squeeze two orange wedges, top with chilled soda water, stir and garnish with fresh orange wedges.

Grey Goose La Poire Grand Fizz: Who needs a partridge and a pear tree when you have this pear-infused cocktail? Add 45ml Grey Goose La Poire and 20ml St-Germain Elderflower liqueur to a large wine glass filled with ice. Then squeeze two fresh lime wedges, top with chilled soda water, stir and garnish with fresh lime wedges.

Plus, try your hand at these delicious cocktails:

Asian-style Bloody Mary: Give the classic hangover cure a tropical twist by switching out the tabasco and Worcestershire for Asian heat. In a stirring glass, combine 2 parts Grey Goose Vodka, 4 parts organic tomato juice, ½ part lemon juice, ½ tsp sriracha, 1 tsp wasabi, a pinch of sea salt and a pinch of black pepper. Stir vigorously, pour into a glass with ice and garnish with a celery stalk.

Berry smash: Muddled berries (just make sure they’re dark – think blueberries or blackberries) are the key to making this luscious drink. This recipe serves six. Using a wooden spoon, coarsely mash 2 sliced lemons and 2 sliced limes, 1 cup blueberries, and ½ cup mint leaves in a large pitcher. Stir in 1½ cups Grey Goose Vodka, ¾ cup St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur and 2 cups ice cubes. Divide among highball glasses and top with more ice. Garnish each drink with fresh mint.

Garden Mule: This variation on a Moscow Mule adds cucumber, blueberries and mint to the original. Place 4 slices cucumber, 8 blueberries and 6 mint leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Muddle until crushed and juicy. Add a handful of ice, 60ml Grey Goose Vodka and 30ml lime juice. Attach shaker lid and shake for about 15 seconds. Fill a Moscow Mule mug with ice. Strain the liquid from the shaker into the mug. Top with ginger beer and blueberries. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a toothpick of candied ginger.

Passionfruit caipiroska: A popular drink in Brazil, caipiroska is made with vodka, lime and sugar syrup, but this incarnation shakes things up with passionfruit pulp. This recipe makes six drinks. In a pitcher, stir together ¾ cup passionfruit puree, ¾ cup fresh lime juice and sugar to taste until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in 1 cup Grey Goose Vodka. Fill six tumblers with the ice and pour drink over the ice. Garnish with lime and serve.
