First introduced in 2005 from their distillery in Borgarnes, Iceland, Reyka Icelandic Vodka is a premium vodka created by William Grant & Sons.

Just as unique as its country of origin, Reyka Icelandic Vodka is painstakingly handmade and uses water drawn from a lava field with no need of treatment or demineralisation due to its purity before it is blended with the vodka.

We recently got to experience Reyka Icelandic Vodka in Nashville for the holidays as they hosted a festive event at the trendy L.A. Jackson on top of the beautiful Thompson Hotel in the Gulch hosted by the always fun brand ambassador for Reyka, Trevor Schneider aka the Cocktail Ninja.

Perfect for a brisk evening outside, we enjoyed hot cider mules in copper mule mugs designed by Reyka Icelandic Vodka by heat lamps overlooking Nashville while roasting handmade marshmallows, delectable cookies, and candy at the gourmet s’mores bar.

Enjoy these tasty cocktails below with some Reyka Vodka this New Year’s eve!
