Notes
Substitutions
- Vodka: Use your favourite vodka to make this cocktail. Ketel One, Grey Goose, Absolut, and Tito make excellent choices.
- Limes: Fresh is always preferable, but if you don’t have any, 100 per cent Lime Juice from your grocer’s produce aisle will suffice.
- Simple Syrup: Purchased or made-at-home simple syrup. Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat to make your own.
- If you like, sparkling water can be used instead of soda water.
Variations
- Use your favourite vodka flavour: Deep Eddy Peach, Smirnoff Infusions Watermelon and Mint, or anything citrus flavoured is some faves.
- Add a fruit purée – strawberries and raspberries work well in this summer cocktail.
- Reduce the calories without sacrificing flavour by using Sprite Zero instead of simple syrup and club soda.
