With National Vodka Day landing on October 4, it feels like the right moment to spotlight a bottle that isn’t your standard pour. The Reid Single Malt Vodka, crafted in New Zealand from the same malted barley that goes into the country’s award-winning whiskies, is a vodka with real character, silky, layered, and far from neutral. It’s just as good neat as it is in a cocktail, which brings us to this fresh twist on a classic: the Reid Cosmopolitan.
