1. Vodka
Vodka is one of the world’s most beloved spirits, enjoyed worldwide for its smooth taste and clear, odorless liquid state. Vodka is created by fermenting starches with brewer’s yeast; this converts carbohydrates to ethanol that can then be distilled; once distillation occurs, its results can then be separated into foreshots, heads, hearts and tails with foreshots containing volatile alcohol levels, hearts containing desirable flavors while tails may contain proteins or carbohydrate compounds not recommended for drinking purposes.
When creating the perfect vodka press, use high-quality, neutral-tasting vodka. For an added fruity element, grapefruit-flavored vodka might do just the trick. Garnish with slices of lemon or orange to add an element of festivity and finish it off with club soda or lemon-lime soda for fizziness; substitute sparkling citrus water in its place for extra sweetness; to reduce calories use diet soda instead!

3. Ice
Ice plays an integral role in cocktails’ taste, presentation, and overall appearance. Large clear cubes not only look more appealing; they also melt slower and dilute your drink less over time. Crushed ice provides a slushier texture which may dilute faster.
