Vodka

Lemon-Lime Soda
Health-conscious consumers value lemon lime carbonated drinks for their refreshing flavor, natural ingredients and low sugar content. Perfect as standalone drinks or to create fruity spritzers or cocktails!
Sprite stands out in this category due to its exceptionally high level of carbonation (it even appears on TikTok challenges!). Their “fruity soda” version boasts light sweetness which pairs nicely with citrus notes for an enjoyable experience.
Green River soda, available from several supermarket chains, is another option worth exploring. Sweetened with erythritol for a mild sweetness that makes an ideal complement to savory foods and pairs well with their syrupy notes.
Club Soda
Club soda is an essential addition to both professional and amateur mixologists alike, offering consistent fizz for cocktails of any kind. Available in several flavors, club soda can often replace regular soda in most recipes and drinks.
Club soda, like seltzer water, is carbonated using carbon dioxide; however, unlike plain Poland Spring or LaCroix bubbly that may be available at your local bodega, club soda features added sodium bicarbonate and citrate for fine bubbles with a distinctive minerally flavor that pairs nicely with various drinks and meals. Due to this unique characteristic, club soda has become increasingly popular as an ingredient for cocktails, mocktails and other recipes as a replacement for beer in fry batter recipes such as those used to fry chicken wings, fish or vegetables!
Ice
Vodka Press cocktails are ideal for those who appreciate cocktails with light and refreshing tastes, yet contain minimal alcohol content and no fat, making it an excellent way to reduce caloric intake without forgoing delicious drinks altogether.
Utilizing ice can help your drink to remain at an ideal temperature and retain carbonation levels. Cubed ice provides long-term cooling effects.
As always, be sure to stir your drink slowly so as to preserve its delicate balance of flavors. Garnishes such as lemon or lime wedges add flair, or try muddling up fresh herbs like mint or basil for an intoxicatingly fragrant herbal note and/or adding fruity sweetness via fresh berries.
Garnish
Add visual and flavor flair to a vodka press recipe by garnishing with slices of lemon or lime for the perfect presentation and flavors of this drink. Not only does the garnish add visual interest, it also imparts each sip with fresh and bright aromas from its contents.
Consider experimenting with various garnishes to see which ones best complement a vodka press drink. Edible flowers like lavender or rosemary add delicate aromas that may otherwise go overlooked when it comes to serving up vodka press drinks.
Serve this refreshing, lively cocktail alongside light meals like bruschetta with tomatoes and basil or your favorite vinaigrette for an enjoyable dining experience. The subtle sweetness of sodas and vodka pairs beautifully with these foods for a rounded dining experience.
