1. Vodka
Vodka is produced through fermentation using ingredients such as potatoes, grain or fruit to create ethyl alcohol – this fermentation process gives vodka its distinctive flavor and aroma.
Once the fermenting process has concluded, distillers collect and separate it into different containers. As 35 percent of this ethanol contains many impurities that could be harmful, this portion is discarded while 30 percent known as hearts is what’s used to create vodka.
Vodka can be served both plain for an unobtrusive flavor and in various flavored varieties, such as citrus and berry flavors. Prep time for this refreshing drink is minimal and you can lower its caloric intake by substituting regular lemon-lime soda with diet soda.
2. Lemon-Lime Soda
Lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7 Up ) adds fizziness and sweet flavor to this thirst-quenching beverage, providing extra fizziness while offering more mild flavor than club soda.
Add a flavored vodka for even more variety and creativity – try using Cranberry or Cucumber Vodka for an enjoyable twist to this bubbly cocktail!
Serve in a tall glass filled with ice; the cold temperature helps bring out flavors while also prolonging fizz and keeping your drink chilled and refreshing for longer.
