3 Nue Vodka Cocktails to Ring in 2019

If you’re looking for a festive spirit to help close out 2018 and ring in the new year, Nue Vodka has you covered.

The Texas-made spirit is crafted from corn and distilled six times for an extra smooth finish. The price point is super affordable (you can find it for about $10 a bottle!) and the bottle looks great on the back bar, so it makes an excellent gift for your NYE party host. In addition to its traditional distillate, the vodka is available in peach and grapefruit flavors to give your drinks a fruity touch.
