Description

The Vodka Soda is the epitome of an uncomplicated and low-calorie long drink. It consists of just two ingredients and is known for its clean, dry, and refreshing taste. Since it contains no sugar or sweet juices, the quality of the vodka is particularly important here. A generous squeeze of fresh lime juice is essential to give the drink a zesty, aromatic note and to distinguish it from simple vodka with water.

Preparation

  1. Fill a highball glass to the brim with ice cubes.
  2. Pour the vodka over the ice.
  3. Slowly top up with well-chilled soda water.
  4. Squeeze the juice of a lime wedge into the drink and then drop the wedge into the glass.
  5. Stir gently.
