Top 10 Vodkas To Buy in Singapore

Top 10 Vodkas To Buy in Singapore

Vodka has a knack for fitting in without disappearing. Pour it neat, drop it over ice, add a simple mixer or shake it into a cocktail and you’ve got a completely different drink. Better still, today’s range of vodkas in Singapore goes well beyond the old idea that vodka should simply taste like nothing.

From Swedish winter wheat and Polish rye to French grapes, different ingredients and production methods can give vodka noticeably different texture, aroma and flavour. So whether you’re stocking the home bar or looking to buy vodka online for the weekend, here are ten bottles worth knowing.

The 10 Best Vodkas To Try In Singapore

Shopping for vodka gets much easier when you stop asking which bottle is best and start asking what you actually want to do with it.

Clynk’s current vodka range leans heavily into AU Vodka’s colourful, fruit-forward bottles, alongside more distinctive Australian options from 23rd Street Distillery and OCD.

Here are 10 picks from the range shown, with the occasion, flavour, best serve and price taken into account.

1. AU Vodka Original 700ml

Perfect for: The home bar that needs one reliable all-rounder
Price: S$80

Want one bottle that can handle Friday night mixers, party cocktails and a simple vodka soda? Start with AU Vodka Original. It’s the straightforward member of AU Vodka’s range, without the fruit flavours found in the brand’s more playful bottles.

Expect a clean, smooth mouthfeel rather than the juicy sweetness of flavoured vodka. That makes it easier to pair with whatever is already in the fridge and a smarter starting point if you prefer classic vodka drinks.

At S$80 for 700ml, it costs more than an everyday entry-level vodka, so the value makes most sense if you specifically want AU Vodka and need the versatility of its original expression. Buy it if you want one AU bottle that can go wherever the night does

Best way to drink it: Pour over plenty of ice, top with soda or lemonade and add fresh lime. It also makes an easy base for an Espresso Martini.

2. OCD Single Malt Pure Vodka

Perfect for: The curious vodka drinker who wants something less predictable
Price: S$65

If brightly flavoured vodka isn't your thing, OCD Single Malt Pure Vodka is where this list gets interesting. Produced by Old Colonial Distillers, it brings a single-malt approach to vodka, making it a more intriguing option for someone who actually wants to taste what's in the glass.

Compared with fruit-flavoured options, expect a cleaner, more spirit-led experience, with the malt base bringing more body and texture to the palate. It's the bottle to reach for when you want your vodka to play the starring role instead of disappearing beneath a mixer.

Buy it if you normally drink whisky or neat spirits and want vodka with a little more personality.

Best way to drink it: Chill it and take your first sip neat. After that, try it over one large cube or in a stripped-back Vodka Martini.


3. 23rd Street Distillery Australia Riverland Rose Vodka

Perfect for: Dinner parties, gifting or anyone bored with ordinary vodka
Price shown: S$55

This is the curveball of the bunch. 23rd Street Distillery comes from South Australia's Riverland, and its Rose Vodka immediately feels more occasion-ready than your standard clear bottle.

The appeal here is a more aromatic, floral drinking experience. Rather than expecting a sugary fruit bomb, think vodka with a fragrant twist that can bring something different to a simple mixed drink. It’s the kind of bottle that starts conversations before you've even found the ice.

Buy it if you want an affordable bottle that feels a bit more special than the usual party vodka.

Best way to drink it: Keep things fresh and uncomplicated. Serve over ice with soda or tonic and a citrus garnish so the floral character isn't buried.

4. OCD Single Malt Gold Leaf Vodka

Perfect for: Celebrations, birthdays and bottles designed to make an entrance
Price: S$75

Sometimes subtlety can have the evening off. OCD Single Malt Gold Leaf Vodka takes the distillery's malt-based vodka concept and gives it a noticeably more celebratory presentation with gold leaf.

Underneath the visual drama, you're still getting the fuller feel you'd expect from a malt-based spirit rather than choosing the bottle purely for decoration. Think clean vodka character with a little more weight across the palate.

Best way to drink it: Serve well chilled in small glasses or over a large cube. If you're buying it for the gold-leaf effect, don't immediately hide it inside a dark, complicated cocktail.

5. AU Vodka Strawberry Burst

Perfect for: House parties and drinkers with a sweet, fruity side
Price: S$66

This is not the bottle for someone hunting for bone-dry, neutral vodka. AU Vodka Strawberry Burst is firmly in the fun camp, combining the brand's vodka with an unmistakably strawberry-led flavour.

On the palate, expect something fruitier and sweeter than traditional vodka, with the strawberry character doing most of the talking. That also makes it approachable for mixed drinks because you don't need a small army of syrups and liqueurs to build flavour.

Best way to drink it: Pour over ice with lemonade or soda and add fresh strawberries or lime. For party duty, it can also slot neatly into fruity vodka cocktails.

6. AU Vodka Juicy Peach

Perfect for: Brunches, rooftop drinks and sunny weekend sessions
Price: S$66

Juicy Peach pretty much tells you where this evening is heading. It's designed for drinkers who want their vodka bright, fruity and easy to turn into a refreshing long drink.

Expect ripe peach flavour and sweetness upfront, with vodka providing the backbone. The result should feel softer and fruitier than classic vodka, making it particularly suited to people who don't enjoy a pronounced alcohol taste in simple mixed drinks.

It's good value when peach is already the flavour you want; less so if you're after one neutral vodka for ten different cocktails.

Best way to drink it: Plenty of ice, Juicy Peach and soda or lemonade. A splash of sparkling wine can turn it into a simple party spritz too.

7. AU Vodka Green Watermelon

Perfect for: Pool parties, BBQs and tropical Singapore afternoons
Price: S$66

Singapore weather and watermelon aren't exactly strangers. AU Vodka Green Watermelon leans straight into that combination with a fruit-forward style made for cold, uncomplicated drinks.

Watermelon brings a juicy, sweet profile, so expect a softer and more playful palate than you'd get from original vodka. It's not trying to be a serious Martini bottle. It's trying to make the ice bucket significantly more popular.

Best way to drink it: Serve over lots of ice with soda or lemonade and fresh lime. Keeping the mixer simple lets the watermelon stay front and centre.

8. AU Vodka Pineapple Crush

Perfect for: Tropical cocktails and anyone who orders the fruity option first
Price: S$66

Pineapple and vodka already get along nicely, so AU Vodka Pineapple Crush cuts straight to the good bit. This is another bottle aimed squarely at drinkers who want flavour built in from the first pour.

Expect juicy tropical fruit, noticeable sweetness and a rounder mouthfeel than an unflavoured vodka. Pineapple's naturally punchy character also means you can keep the rest of the drink refreshingly simple.

Best way to drink it: Try it over ice with soda and lime. If you're in full cocktail mode, pair it with coconut or passionfruit flavours for something decidedly tropical.

9. AU Vodka Blue Raspberry

Perfect for: Big nights, colourful party drinks and the sweet-toothed crowd
Price: S$66

Blue Raspberry isn't pretending to be traditional, and that's rather the point. This AU Vodka expression is built around a bold, sweet fruit flavour and the kind of electric colour that makes it instantly party-ready.

Expect a candy-like berry profile rather than the subtle grain notes you'd seek in classic vodka. The palate should come across sweeter and more flavour-driven, so there's little reason to bury it beneath equally complicated ingredients.

Best way to drink it: Keep it cold and pair it with lemonade or soda over ice. Citrus can help cut through the sweetness and keep the drink lively.

10. AU Vodka Black Grape

Perfect for: Late-night drinks and fans of richer fruit flavours
Price shown: S$66

If watermelon and pineapple sound a little too summery, Black Grape takes AU Vodka's fruit-first formula in a darker direction. It's a good pick for someone who likes bold berry and grape flavours but still wants the simplicity of a ready-flavoured vodka.

Expect sweet, concentrated grape character with a fuller fruit impression on the palate. Because the flavour is already doing plenty of work, complicated cocktails aren't necessary.

Best way to drink it: Pour over ice with lemonade or soda. A squeeze of lime adds acidity and stops the fruitiness from becoming too heavy.

What To Look For When Choosing Vodka

Vodka labels can get technical fast. Keep it simple. Look at the base ingredient, production style, flavour, and most importantly how you plan to drink it.

Base ingredient

Vodka can be made from grains, potatoes, grapes, and other fermentable ingredients. Each base can contribute subtle differences in flavour and texture.

For something a little different, AU Vodka Fruit Punch brings a fruit-led option to Clynk’s range, while AU Vodka Original 700ml keeps things classic and versatile.

Distillation and filtration

Don’t get too hung up on how many times a vodka has been distilled or filtered. More isn’t automatically better. Production methods vary by brand, so what matters is how the finished vodka suits your taste and serve.

Flavour and texture

Some vodkas keep things neutral, while others bring fruit or other flavours into the mix. If you prefer something bolder, Clynk carries flavoured options including AU Vodka Strawberry Burst, Juicy Peach, Green Watermelon, Pineapple Crush, and Blue Raspberry.

Your intended serve

Let the drink decide the bottle. AU Vodka Original 700ml is the straightforward pick for classic vodka cocktails, while the flavoured AU Vodka range makes sense when you want fruit-forward mixed drinks without overcomplicating the recipe.

When buying vodka online in Singapore, check the bottle size, ABV, flavour, and product details before adding it to your cart. 

Easy Ways To Serve Vodka

You don’t need ten bottles of bitters and a bartender’s toolkit to make vodka worth looking forward to. A few cold mixers, plenty of ice and the right bottle will do nicely. Since Clynk’s current range includes classic, malt-based and fruit-flavoured options, you can also match the vodka to the drink instead of forcing one bottle into every recipe.

Vodka soda

Try it with: AU Vodka Original 700ml

When you want something cold, crisp and uncomplicated, this is the move. Fill a highball with ice, add 45ml AU Vodka Original, top with chilled soda water and finish with fresh lime or grapefruit.

AU Vodka Original makes sense here because the simple recipe gives its clean flavour nowhere to hide. Soda keeps things light and lets the vodka remain noticeable without taking over the glass.

If you usually reach for classic bottles such as Absolut Blue Vodka or Smirnoff Red Vodka, AU Original offers another modern spirit to put through the same simple test.

Make it:
45ml AU Vodka Original + 120ml soda water + fresh lime.

Moscow mule

Try it with: AU Vodka Original or AU Vodka Pineapple Crush

A Moscow Mule is built for easy drinking: vodka, spicy ginger beer and fresh lime over a mountain of ice. The ginger gives it bite, while lime keeps the drink from becoming too sweet.

For the classic route, use AU Vodka Original. For something more tropical, AU Vodka Pineapple Crush is the fun pick. Pineapple naturally plays well with ginger and lime, so you get more flavour without turning the recipe into a shopping list.

Make it:
45ml vodka + 120ml ginger beer + 15ml fresh lime juice. Build over ice and stir gently.

Vodkas made from different ingredients can behave differently in simple cocktails. Belvedere Vodka, for example, is a Polish vodka made from rye, while some French vodkas use French wheat and certain producers use water naturally filtered through limestone. Different raw materials, fermentation, where producers ferment their base before distillation and filtration methods can all contribute to differences in aroma, body and finish.

For your Mule, though, you don't need to overthink it. If ginger and lime are doing most of the talking, choose a vodka you enjoy and save the tasting notes for later.

Vodka tonic

Try it with: OCD Single Malt Pure Vodka

A Vodka Tonic is essentially a three-part audition: vodka, tonic and citrus. With so few ingredients, the spirit's character is much easier to notice.

That's why OCD Single Malt Pure Vodka is an interesting Clynk pick. Its malt base gives you something different from standard grain vodkas, while tonic adds bitterness and bubbles. Add lemon or grapefruit to brighten the whole thing.

Make it:
45ml OCD Single Malt Pure Vodka + 100–120ml tonic water + lemon or grapefruit.

If you dislike an overly bitter taste, use less tonic and add a little soda water. You'll still get the fizz while letting more of the vodka's clean taste and texture come through.

This is also a useful format for comparing bottles from the best brands you've tried. Forget claims about the purest vodka or assumptions that more filtration automatically means better. What matters in your glass is whether you enjoy the balance, aroma and finish.

Vodka martini

Try it with: 23rd Street Distillery Australia Riverland Rose Vodka

The Martini is where vodka gets nowhere to hide.

Combine it with dry vermouth, chill it thoroughly and garnish with a lemon twist or olive. The stripped-back recipe puts the vodka's smooth texture and underlying malt character front and centre rather than burying them under juice and syrup.

Make it:
60ml vodka + 10ml dry vermouth. Stir with ice until properly cold, strain and garnish.

Drinkers accustomed to premium bottles such as Belvedere Vodka or Beluga Gold Line Vodka may particularly enjoy trying a malt-based vodka in the same format. You might encounter descriptions such as hints of vanilla, pepper or citrus when reading tasting notes for other premium vodkas, but don't chase flavours you're “supposed” to taste. Sip first and decide what you notice.

Want something considerably less serious? Use AU Vodka Juicy Peach instead, lengthen it with soda and forget the Martini rules entirely. Different evening, different bottle.

Neat or on the rocks

 

Try it with: OCD Single Malt Gold Leaf Vodka

If you want to understand what a vodka actually tastes and feels like, try a small chilled pour neat or on the rocks. OCD Single Malt Gold Leaf Vodka is particularly suited to the occasion because its presentation already makes it feel celebration-ready, while its malt base gives you something to explore beyond fruit flavour.

Serve it well chilled and take a small sip before adding ice. Pay attention to texture, initial flavour and the finish rather than worrying about whether it matches someone else's tasting notes.

If you're choosing between Clynk's two OCD bottles, Single Malt Pure Vodka at S$65 is the practical pick for regular drinking and cocktails, while Single Malt Gold Leaf Vodka at S$75 earns its extra spend when the bottle itself is part of the occasion.

Fruity vodka highball

Try it with: AU Vodka Strawberry Burst, Juicy Peach, Green Watermelon, Pineapple Crush, Fruit Punch, Blue Raspberry or Black Grape

Here's the easiest route from “I fancy a drink” to “that went down nicely.”

Fill a tall glass with ice, add 45ml of your favourite AU flavoured vodka, then top with soda or lemonade. Finish with citrus. Done.

Choose Green Watermelon for something summery, Pineapple Crush for tropical drinks, Juicy Peach for a softer fruit profile or Black Grape when you want something richer. Strawberry Burst, Fruit Punch and Blue Raspberry push things further into party territory.

Make it:
45ml AU flavoured vodka + 100–120ml soda or lemonade + fresh citrus.

At around S$66 per bottle, these make the most sense when you already know you enjoy flavoured drinks. You're getting the fruit character in the bottle, so there's less need to buy extra syrups, liqueurs and cocktail ingredients.

And that's really the trick. You don't need a shelf packed with Absolut Blue Vodka, Smirnoff Red Vodka, Belvedere Vodka and every other famous label to make a good drink. Pick the Clynk bottle that fits what you're actually pouring, get the ice properly cold and enjoy it your way.

Screwdriver

Two ingredients and almost zero effort. For a fruitier twist, AU Vodka Juicy Peach or AU Vodka Pineapple Crush can shake up the usual orange-and-vodka combination.

You’ll need:

  • 45 ml vodka
  • 120 ml orange juice
  • Ice
  • Orange slice

Add the vodka to an ice-filled glass, pour in the orange juice, and stir. Adjust the ratio to suit how strong or fruity you like it.

 

What Vodka Works Well For Cocktails?

The best cocktail vodka depends on what you’re mixing. Some drinks give the spirit plenty of room to show itself, while others call for a simple base that plays nicely with stronger flavours.

For classics like a Vodka Martini or vodka soda, AU Vodka Original 700ml is the straightforward option in Clynk’s current collection. It suits drinks where you want to keep things simple and clean and crisp.

You’ll see plenty of terms when comparing vodka brands elsewhere, like wheat vodka, barley, quadruple distillation, natural ingredients, Icelandic origins, peppery finishes, natural vodka, or even labels like super premium vodka. Treat those as useful product details rather than a shortcut to the best tasting bottle. Your favourite vodka comes down to what you enjoy and what you’re making.

Ready To Find Your Next Vodka?

Whether you love the smoothness of Grey Goose Vodka, the familiar profile of Absolut Vodka, or have explored vodka brands such as SKYY, Cîroc, Reyka, Russian Standard, or bottles from Poland, there’s always something new to pour. You might even swap vodka for gin or rum when the mood strikes.
