Classic Vodka brand Stolichnaya is a respected label from Russia, where wheat and rye grains are blended with artesial water from the Russian city of Samara and the Kaliningrad region to produce what many connoisseurs feel is a crisp, clean spirit that is tops for cocktail mixing.

The Holidays are prime cocktail party time, and Stoli has compiled a list of delicious new drinks to add to the classic repertoire of martinis for you to dazzle your guests with.

Stolichnaya Vodka's new ad campaign features the tagline "Would you have a drink with you?"  Stoli also has enlisted actress Julia Stiles to promote the brand.  Stiles is currently shining as "Lumen," the traumatized farm girl now in Miami on Showtime's "Dexter."  Her arc has been a real treat for fans of the noir series this season.   

Also enlisted by Stoli is American lifestyle entrepreneur Hugh Hefner, the original Playboy who show us that it’s not about the fame or fortune, but following your passion and bucking convention to make your mark in the world.   

Even Twitter co-founder Biz Stone is in a video drinking Stoli cocktails and discussing Twitter's impact on the world.
