Up and Elegant

• A few whipped cream and vodka mixed drinks actually fall into the classy cocktail category. The key lime martini, a creamy and citrusy martini that has a few variations, combines vodka, whipped cream and lime juice and mimics the flavors of key lime pie. Chill equal parts of the three ingredients, then strain into a martini glass. Another mixed drink served up is the antifreeze cocktail, which gets its names from its neon greenish color. Mix equal parts vodka, 151-proof rum, melon liqueur and whipped cream in a shaker tin filled with ice, then strain into a martini glass.

On the Rocks

• The pairing of whipped cream and vodka works particularly well in ice-cold drinks meant for slower sipping. The witch's treat mixed drink is a variation of the white Russian in which whipped cream substitutes for half and half. Fill a rocks glass with ice, pour in equal parts vodka and coffee liqueur, then top with whipped cream and a cherry. Another drink on the rocks is the night on the beach, which stems from the tropical favorite. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour 1 part each vodka, coconut rum and peach schnapps, 2 parts whipped cream, 3 parts pineapple juice and a splash of grenadine, shake, then strain into a rocks glass with ice.

Speedy Shooters

• Whipped cream and vodka work well in a number of shots and shooters due to their flavor combination and texture. The apple pie shot has quite a few variations, with some being much messier than others. For a simple shot, mix equal parts vodka and apple juice with a dash of cinnamon, then top with whipped cream -- a more potent form of the shot substitutes the apple juice with apple cider. The screaming meanie shot comes with specific instructions: pour equal parts vodka, Irish cream and coffee and amaretto liqueurs into a shot glass, top with whipped cream, then drink the shot without using your hands.

After Dinner And Beyond

• The combination of whipped cream and vodka acts as a fine digestif after a heavy meal or a nightcap after a busy day. The chocolate raspberry forest drink is an adult version of a wintery hot chocolate that blends different chocolate flavors with raspberries. Pour 2 parts raspberry liqueur and 1 part each vodka and white creme de cacao into a coffee mug, then top with hot chocolate and whipped cream. The sleepy housecoat cocktail is a cold cocktail that will put you to sleep in no time. Mix 4 parts each vodka and coffee liqueur and 3 parts each Irish cream and milk, add a dash of vanilla-flavored instant coffee and top with whipped cream.
