It’s true, I’m a vodka gal and always have been. There’s really nothing better than a vodka soda lime (my go-to drink that I order at the bar). Vodka mixes great with many juices and liquors and makes for a GREAT cocktail. For the most part, it’s easy to find, can be inexpensive, and is easy to flavor with other ingredients.

Vodka Soda Lime = The Best Vodka Drink!

I mentioned above that my go-to drink to order at the bar is a vodka soda lime and that’s just the truth. It’s sour, bubbly, and slightly sweet. Sometimes I ask for a little splash of cranberry juice in there to make it festive!

Below we’re sharing a simple recipe for a vodka soda lime. Remember, you can always add more sparkling water to make it less strong and more simple syrup to make it sweeter.

What is the best vodka to buy for cocktails?

Choosing the right vodka for you is all about preference. How much do you want to spend and how smooth do you want your vodka to go down? Typically the smoother the vodka, the more expensive. Here are our 3 favorites in different price ranges.

  • Low: Titos
  • Medium: Prairie
  • High: Sky

Prairie is our personal favorite because the price is right any it’s Minnesota-made (where we’re from!).

What can I mix with vodka?

There are so many different things you can mix with vodka to make a great cocktail recipe. Here are some of our favorite “mixers” or non-alcoholic ingredients that are great mixed with vodka by itself.

  • cranberry juice
  • orange juice
  • lime or lemon juice
  • ginger beer
  • tonic water
  • soda water
  • lemonade
  • simple syrup

What liquors go well with vodka?

Other alcohols that mix well with vodka include rum, sake, bitters, and liqueurs like Chambord and schnapps.

Can you drink vodka straight?

Yes you can drink vodka straight. We prefer to get all classy and make a vodka martini with high-quality vodka and a side of olives.

Sometimes people will order vodka on the rocks (or vodka over ice) or even a straight shot of vodka. We’re not saying this is our favorite way to drink vodka, but people definitely do it!

His voice holds no harshness. He is centered around the present — his family, keeping his enormous, effective organization cutthroat, China’s turn of events.
In the event that reading up abroad was impossible for Ge’s folks, setting off for college in China was nearly as far unattainable.
