Grey Goose makes some of the smoothest vodka on the shelf. It also has a great taste that is equally enjoyable with a mixer. If you are looking to keep it classy for a night on the town, Grey Goose is an excellent choice. However, choosing how to drink it can be difficult.
If you go with one of the 10 mixers on this list, you can’t go wrong. Depending on your flavor palette, the aesthetic, and more, you might be partial to one taste over others. So, you should be able to find the perfect fit for your cocktail.
Let’s dive right in!
1. Soda Water
Soda water adds a hint of spice when mixed with Grey Goose. It allows the spirit to maintain its level of flavor while reducing some of the kick from the alcohol with carbonation. If you like to keep things simple, soda water is an excellent mixer for any vodka.
Sipping Grey Goose mixed with soda water is refreshing while allowing you to savor the enhanced flavor profile of high-quality vodka. Soda water keeps things as healthy as possible when drinking a cocktail while diluting some of the alcohol sting.
2. Orange Juice
There are few cocktails as classic as the Screwdriver. A simple vodka and orange juice mixed drink is a kickstart to the afternoon. Orange juice mixes well with all levels of alcohol, especially more exclusive spirits such as Grey Goose.
You might choose orange juice to mix with the vodka if you are looking to start your day or evening off strong. Screwdrivers make good substitutes for mimosas if Champagne is not your style.

3. Espresso
An espresso martini is one of the tastiest drinks you can find. If you fancy coffee, you will love Grey Goose Vodka mixed with espresso. Specifically, you need:
- Grey Goose
- Espresso
- Coffee liqueur
Mixing these three simple ingredients turns Grey Goose into a dessert drink. Whether it is your go-to option or you want a burst of caffeine, an espresso martini is well worth the unique ingredients.
4. Cranberry Juice
Cranberry juice is another familiar favorite mixer for Grey Goose Vodka, and there is a high likelihood that most people have it on hand. Using a mixer such as cranberry juice or another option you may already have in your fridge saves you an extra trip to the store.
Cranberry juice adds enough flavor to the vodka that there is an apparent difference in the cocktail, but it is not going to overpower the taste of the Grey Goose itself. Like soda water, cranberry juice also keeps things healthy, so those looking for low-calorie cocktails are in luck.
5. Neat or a Splash of Water
Because Grey Goose Vodka is a more sophisticated spirit than other vodka brands, some drink it neat with no mixers. While this is certainly an option, you might not care to drink liquor straight.
In this case, consider adding just a splash of water. If you do not overdo it, the water will help dilute the vodka without taking away the flavor you get from Grey Goose.
6. Coffee Liqueur
A White Russian with Grey Goose also keeps things classy while adding as much unique flavor as you can get from a cocktail. White Russians are simple and easy to make, even being another dessert-style cocktail. Here is what you need:
- Vodka
- Coffee liqueur
- Heavy cream
If you are not particular as to the thickness you will get from the heavy cream, you may opt simply for a mix of Grey Goose and coffee liquor, which is just as valuable. Vodka mixed with coffee liqueur and heavy cream is similar to an espresso martini, aside from the reduced caffeine kick.
7. Lemon-Lime Soda
Many people save Grey Goose for special occasions. If you drink it regularly or do not particularly care about the exclusiveness of the taste, lemon-lime soda is a great mixer. The flavor of the soda may ultimately outperform the Grey Goose flavor, but it is still a good drink.
Though it is a less-sophisticated mixer option compared to some others on the list, lemon-lime soda really does pair well with just about every liquor you might have. If you like lemon-lime soda, there is nothing wrong with adding it to your drink.

8. Ginger Beer
Ginger beer is not as popular of an option when it comes to mixers, but the unique taste you get from a splash of ginger beer will widen your cocktail experience. Create a Grey Goose Moscow Mule with:
- Grey Goose Vodka
- Ginger beer
- Lime juice
Moscow Mules are some of the tastiest cocktails you can order or make yourself. Whether you are out to lunch on the weekend or winding down after a busy day, Grey Goose with ginger beer is an easy option.
9. Dry Vermouth
A Grey Goose Vodka martini keeps things fancy. While martinis are known for adding class to a night out, they are just as simple to make as many other drinks. For a Grey Goose Vodka martini, you need:
- The Vodka
- Dry Vermouth
- Orange bitters
While you may not have all of these ingredients on hand, a martini remains easy to make. If you do not have orange bitters, a Grey Goose martini with vodka and dry vermouth alone is sufficient and tastes great.

10. Lemonade
Mixing lemonade with Vodka keeps things sweet and refreshing. For an enhanced, high-quality vodka such as Grey Goose, some people may choose to stray away from sweet mixers as they may cloud the taste of the vodka.
While this is a possibility, just a splash of lemonade can further enhance the flavor of the Vodka while saving you from some of the sting.
Final Sip
Grey Goose Vodka is a treat in and of itself, but it is nicely complimented with a mixer. Your typical preferences might change after seeing the wide variety of mixers that pair well with it.
