There is something irresistible about knowing what your favourite stars order at the bar. In 2026 the drink in a famous hand gets almost as much attention as the outfit — from awards-season after-parties in the winter to festival lounges in the summer. The catch? Most of those celebrity vodka cocktails are built on syrups, liqueurs and juice. Below, we match a handful of publicly reported star drink preferences to the best-fitting Aura vodka water cocktail — a low calorie vodka option made with premium vodka and alkaline water, sold across British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.
One honest note first: the preferences below come from public interviews, red-carpet coverage and widely reported brand associations. They are not endorsements of Aura by any named person, and no direct quotes are invented here.
The Vodka Martini Loyalists
The vodka martini is Hollywood shorthand for classic cool, and it has stayed remarkably steady while everything around it churns. George Clooney and Cindy Crawford are both closely associated with premium spirits culture, and the vodka martini remains the drink most people picture when they imagine an elegant celebrity order.
Your Aura match: Cucumber Lime. A dry martini is all about clean, cool restraint — no fruity distraction. Our Cucumber Lime can captures that same crisp edge with a fraction of the fuss, making it the natural pick for anyone who loves a spare, sophisticated pour.
The Vodka Soda Minimalists
The vodka soda belongs to the stars who want to pace themselves without leaving the party early. Kim Kardashian has publicly spoken about keeping her drinks light and simple, and the vodka soda is widely reported as a go-to among wellness-minded celebrities.
Your Aura match: Cucumber Lime again — this is the vodka-soda lover's can. Same clean, no-syrup experience with a bright botanical lift, in a grab-and-go format you never have to explain to a bartender.
The Espresso Martini Crowd
The espresso martini has refused to leave, and by 2026 it is less a comeback than a permanent fixture of late-night Hollywood cocktails. Dua Lipa is often associated with its revival, and it still anchors the after-midnight end of glamorous events.
Your Aura match: Coconut Pineapple. The espresso martini is a celebration drink — indulgent, party-forward, made for a crowd. For that same festive energy without the heavy sweetness, our tropical Coconut Pineapple can brings the party-lounge feeling in a lighter way.
The Spicy & Fruity Vodka Fans
Bold, flavour-driven vodka drinks — spicy spritzes, fruit-forward coolers, the whole patio genre — keep gaining ground on the classics. Stars like Chrissy Teigen are often linked to playful, flavour-packed cocktails and have publicly spoken about a love of vibrant drinks that match a sunny, social mood.
Your Aura match: Mango Peach. Juicy, ripe and made for warm afternoons, Mango Peach turns a fruity celebrity cocktail into an easy patio pour — all the summer flavour, none of the syrupy weight.
How to Drink Like a Star Without the Sugar
The glamour is free; the sugar is what quietly adds up. And most of the sweetness in a cocktail does not come from the vodka at all — it comes from the syrups, liqueurs and juices poured around it. A few habits make any bar menu easier to navigate:
- Ask for soda, not tonic. Tonic water is sweetened; club soda and sparkling water are not. It is the single easiest swap at any bar.
- Order the syrup on the side, or halved. Most bartenders will happily do it, and a fruit-forward drink usually needs far less than the standard pour.
- Skip the "sour mix" shortcut. Fresh citrus and a splash of soda give you the same brightness without a pre-sweetened base.
- Alternate with water. A glass of water between drinks is how the wellness-minded crowd stays out late and still feels human the next morning.
- Let the can do the measuring. A pre-mixed can is a fixed, consistent pour — no heavy hand, no guessing what went in.
Why Match a Star Drink to Aura?
The appeal of celebrity vodka cocktails is the vibe, not the sugar. Aura keeps the fun and trims the excess, so you can chase the espresso-martini glamour or the vodka-martini cool while sticking to a low calorie vodka choice. A few reasons fans across Canada are switching:
- Premium vodka blended with clean, alkaline water
- Three flavours that map neatly onto classic drink styles
- Convenient cans built for patios, festivals and dinner parties
- No mixing, no syrup, no guesswork
