Longer days call for tall, refreshing cocktails ☀️
Embracing simplicity with a twist, our mixologist Veronica Correa has devised some ingenious upgrades to the classic Vodka Soda. These are perfect for sipping on the patio or as vibrant additions to your next party.
Here are three easy upgrades to transform your cocktail game this season:
Upgrade 1: Cucumber Quench
Ingredients:
-
Fierce & Kind American Vodka
-
Cucumber Water
-
Lime
-
Soda
This variant introduces a spa-like serenity to your sip. Begin with Fierce & Kind American Vodka as your foundation. Infuse the vodka with the cool, crisp essence of cucumber water, which you can make by steeping fresh cucumber slices in water for a few hours. Squeeze in some fresh lime for a citrusy zing and top it off with soda water for that quintessential fizz. The result is a rejuvenating cocktail that's as hydrating as it is delicious.
Upgrade 2: Raspberry Muddle
Ingredients:
-
Fierce & Kind American Vodka
-
Muddled Raspberries
-
Crushed Ice
-
Lime
-
Soda
For a fruity explosion, the Raspberry Muddle is your go-to. In a glass, muddle fresh raspberries to release their sweet and tart juices. Add in a generous pour of Fierce & Kind American Vodka over crushed ice, which chills the drink faster and makes it extra refreshing. Squeeze a wedge of lime to cut through the sweetness and top with soda water. This upgrade is a berry delightful twist that's both playful and palate-pleasing.
Upgrade 3: Lavender Fizz
Ingredients:
-
Fierce & Kind American Vodka
-
Soda
-
Scrappys Bitters Lavender Bitters
-
Lavender Sprigs
Elevate your cocktail with a floral note in the Lavender Fizz. Combine Fierce & Kind American Vodka with a splash of soda water. Then, introduce a few dashes of Scrappys Bitters Lavender Bitters for a fragrant layer. Garnish with a sprig of fresh lavender, which not only looks elegant but also infuses the drink with a subtle, aromatic flavor. Each sip is like a gentle breeze on a warm summer evening.
