How to make this drink:

All you need for this cocktail is vodka and squirt soda. It only takes a few quick minutes to whip this drink together.

Equipment:

• highball glass
• jigger
• bar spoon

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Vodka
• 4 oz Squirt Soda
• Ice

Instructions:

Step one

Start out making a string by ensuring that you have all of the ingredients and equipment needed including vodka, squirt soda, highball glass, ice, jigger and bar spoon.

Step two

Go ahead and fill your highball glass almost to the top with the ice.

Step three

Pick up your jigger and your vodka. Using your jigger measure 2 oz of vodka. Dump the vodka from the jigger into your highball glass over your ice.

Step four

Pick up your squirt soda. Using your jigger measure 4 oz of squirt soda. Dump the squirt soda from the jigger into your highball glass over your ice and vodka.

Note: for this cocktail we’re using a typical 2 to 1 highball ratio. However, if you don’t want to be exact in the measuring of the sport soda that is totally fine for this cocktail. Simply top the glass off with squirt. This will typically result in slightly more than 4 oz of squirt being used which can lighten the vodka flavor a bit.

Step Five

To get things finished up, use your bar spoon and give your cocktail a couple good stirs.

garnishes for this one are completely optional. However, if you’d like to use one cut a lemon, lime or grapefruit slice. Then cut a notch in the pulp of the fruit and place it on the rim of your glass.
