Our Vodka Selection: Where Heritage Meets Craft

Absolut Blue — $13 / $118

Originating from Åhus, Sweden, Absolut Blue is known for its full-bodied and complex character. Distilled using winter wheat and pristine water from a deep well in southern Sweden, it’s smooth, mellow, and works wonderfully whether you take it neat, with a mixer, or as the base of your favorite cocktail. With no added sugar, Absolut stays true to vodka’s roots: clean, honest, and balanced. Absolut is a great choice for those who love a refreshing drink alongside a glass of white wine.

Ketel One Original — $15 / $148

Crafted in small batches in Schiedam, Netherlands, Ketel One Vodka offers a fresh aroma and silky mouthfeel. It blends traditional pot-still methods with modern distillation, resulting in a vodka that is crisp on the palate with subtle notes of citrus and honey. It’s a popular choice for those who appreciate craftsmanship and clarity in every pour.

Why Vodka at Akasa?

At Akasa, the drinking experience is elevated through intentional pairings and expert curation. Here’s what makes our vodka menu distinct:

  • Premium Spirits, No Frills: We focus on clarity and quality. Our vodka range is selected for smoothness and consistency — no unnecessary gimmicks, just well-crafted spirits.

  • Perfectly Paired: Vodka is the ideal companion to a variety of cuisines. At Akasa, enjoy it alongside our Asian-inspired menu, where its neutral profile balances bold spices and rich textures.

Vodka’s Cultural Journey: A Spirit with a Story

Vodka has a fascinating heritage that spans continents and centuries. Though its exact origins are debated — some say Poland, others Russia — one thing is clear: it’s one of the world’s most beloved spirits. Traditionally distilled from grains or potatoes, vodka’s defining characteristic is its purity. This neutrality makes it incredibly versatile and central to countless global cocktails. If you're looking to explore more spirits with similar versatility, Bacardi white rum is another excellent option.

At Akasa, we honour this tradition by offering vodka that respects its past while being perfectly suited to the modern palate.

Serving Vodka, The Akasa Way

On the Rocks

Simple, elegant, and effective. Enjoy your favorite vodka chilled and poured over ice. Ideal for appreciating the spirit’s texture and subtle notes.

Neat

For the purists — vodka served straight, unadulterated, and at just the right temperature. A clean finish and crisp profile make this an excellent pre-dinner sip.

With Mixers

Our staff can expertly guide you through pairings — from tonic water and soda to subtle infusions of citrus or herbs.

Bespoke Cocktails

Tell us what you love, and our bartenders will craft something just for you. Whether you prefer something bold and spicy or light and floral, vodka forms the perfect foundation for innovation.

Pairing Suggestions from Our Menu

Vodka is versatile, making it the perfect complement to several dishes from our main offerings. At Akasa, we recommend:

  • Grilled Meats: The clean taste of vodka cuts through the richness of beef and lamb beautifully.

  • Seafood Dishes: With its subtle palate, vodka highlights delicate flavors in prawns, scallops, and fish without overpowering.

  • Spicy Starters: Pair vodka with spiced small plates to cool the heat and refresh your palate.

Our menu is built around flavor harmony, and vodka plays a key role in enhancing those combinations.

The Akasa Bar Experience

Our commitment goes beyond offering a drink. We provide an entire bar experience centered around hospitality, storytelling, and connection. Vodka may be a simple spirit, but in the right setting, it becomes a conversation starter, a celebration, or a moment of pause in an otherwise busy day.

When you visit Akasa, you’re not just ordering a vodka — you’re engaging with a spirit that carries centuries of tradition, crafted with precision and enjoyed in a setting that celebrates both flavor and form.

Whether you choose Absolut Blue for its classic Swedish heritage or Ketel One for its crisp Dutch profile, you’re part of something more. If you're exploring new drinks, Japanese gin offers an exciting alternative to vodka.

Thoughtfully Selected, Expertly Served

Each bottle on our shelf has been chosen for a reason. Our bartenders are trained not just in technique, but in the art of recommendation. They understand what you’re looking for — whether that’s a quiet glass after work or a signature cocktail to kick off your night.

With vodka, subtlety is key. And at Akasa, subtlety is an art form we’ve mastered.

Versatility in Every Sip

Vodka’s popularity stems from its versatility:

  • Cocktail Base: Classic drinks like the Vodka Martini, Moscow Mule, or Bloody Mary all find their roots in this clear spirit.

  • Neutral yet Impactful: Unlike aged spirits, vodka doesn’t overpower. It blends, lifts, and enhances.

  • Perfect for Any Occasion: Whether it’s a weekday lunch or a weekend gathering, vodka fits the moment.

That’s why we take pride in offering vodka as one of our staple spirits — adaptable, timeless, and consistently satisfying.

Explore Beyond the Glass

Looking to take your vodka appreciation to the next level? Our bespoke cocktail option allows you to collaborate with our mixologists to create something just for you. Choose your preferred base, flavor profile, and occasion, and let us do the magic.
