-Add Smirnoff Vodka to the Glass with Ice cubes
-You will get these lovely bubbles
-Top the mixture with Soda Water
-You will get a cool lovely sizzle as the Smirnoff Vodka and Soda Water mix it up
-Finally add your Lemon Soda. This is optional as you can skip it but I love the lemony tangy flavor that it lends to the Cocktail
-Drop a cut Lemon into the mix. Add two to three pieces of Lime in the Smirnoff Cocktail Drink. -Garnish with a piece of Lime on the side of the glass
-Refreshing Smirnoff Vodka Cocktail to end a hectic day or just to wind down the day

Q1: What kind of vodka works best?
A: Use a high-quality plain vodka for a clean finish. If you want a more intense citrus hit, you can opt for lemon-flavored vodka, but it’s optional.
Q2: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Yes! Mix the vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup in advance and refrigerate. Shake with ice and pour just before serving for a fresh taste.
Q3: What’s the best lemon juice to use?
A: Freshly squeezed lemon juice makes a world of difference. Bottled juice can be convenient but may lack the brightness and aroma of fresh lemons.
Q4: How do I make it sweeter or stronger?
A: Adjust the simple syrup to taste. For a stronger drink, increase the vodka by ½ oz. You can also top it with soda water to mellow it out.
Q5: What garnishes pair well?
A: A lemon wheel, twist of zest, or sprig of mint adds elegance. You can also sugar the rim of the glass for a fancier look.
Q6: Can I turn this into a pitcher cocktail?
A: Definitely. For 4 servings, multiply the recipe by 4 and stir in a pitcher with ice. Pour into individual glasses and garnish.
