Ingredients
- 2 oz quality vodka (I prefer Tito’s vodka for its smooth finish)
- 2–3 oz club soda (the bubblier the better!)
- 2–3 oz lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7UP work perfectly)
- Ice cubes (filtered water makes clearer ice if you’re feeling fancy)
- Lime wedge for garnish
- Optional: lemon wedge, fresh mint, or berries for extra flavor
Instructions
Fill a highball glass (or any tall glass you have) with ice. Make sure it’s filled all the way to the top – this keeps your drink colder longer and prevents it from becoming diluted too quickly.
Pour 2 oz of quality vodka over the ice. While any vodka works, this Tito’s vodka press recipe truly shines because of its smooth character and clean finish. The quality of vodka really does make a difference here since this is such a simple drink!
Olivia’s tip: Keep your vodka in the freezer for an extra-cold, slightly thicker pour that will keep your drink colder longer.
This is where the magic happens in any vodka press drink recipe! Add equal parts club soda and lemon-lime soda (about 2-3 oz of each) to create the signature “press.” The club soda brings the crisp bubbles while the lemon-lime soda adds just the right touch of sweetness.
Olivia’s tip: Pour slowly down the side of the glass to preserve more carbonation.
Add a lime wedge to the rim of the glass. Squeeze it slightly into the drink before dropping it in for an extra citrus punch. For a more aromatic experience, add a fresh mint sprig or some berries.
Give your drink a gentle stir – just enough to mix the ingredients without losing all those lovely bubbles. Nobody wants a flat vodka press!
