Sips & Tips

Technique

Use the coldest soda you can — warm soda goes flat instantly. Lots of ice keeps everything crisp. One stir only to preserve carbonation.

Balance

This is the lowest-calorie cocktail you can make. The quality of your vodka matters here since there's nothing to hide behind. A squeeze of lime adds essential brightness.
