Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz Vodka

  • Ice

Instructions

  • Grab the jigger and measure 2 oz of vodka.
  • Add the vodka into the glass with ice.
  • Grab the jigger and measure 4 oz of Coke.
  • Add the Coke into the glass with ice.
    Note: instead of measuring the Coke, you can pour it directly into the glass to top it off.
  • Stir gently with bar spoon to mix. Or gently pour from glass to shaker back to glass.

Notes

Variations & Tips
  • Flavored Vodka or different coke - try a flavored vodka like cherry or vanilla.  Or, switch up the cokes and use diet, caffeine free or a flavor like cherry.
  • Use mid to top shelf vodka - since this drink only has two ingredients, using a low quality vodka can take some of the smoothness out of the drink.
  • Don't shake it - often times cocktails are shaken to mix them up, but due to the large amount of soda that will cause this drink to fizz all over. Use a bar spoon and stir instead.
  • Don't make in advance - while you CAN technically make this in advance of serving, the Coke will go flat and that causes the drink to loose some of it's appeal. So, make this right when you are ready to serve it for max fizziness.
