Recipe Notes

Flavor Twists to Try 

  • Don’t stop at plain vodka. The vodka soda is basically a blank canvas. Add your own signature touch with these simple cocktail upgrades: 
  • Passion fruit + vodka + soda = tropical dreams. Try it with True Orange and a splash of simple syrup! 
  • Elderflower liqueur pairs beautifully with lemon juice or True Lemon and your favorite vodka. 
  • For cozy vibes, mix apple cider with True Lemon and vodka, then top with soda for a spiced autumn-style vodka cocktail. 
  • Want a ginger kick? Swap club soda for ginger beer and use True Lime for a fiery take on the highball cocktail. 
  • Hosting a party? Set up a vodka soda bar with different True Citrus packets, fresh garnishes, and a few types of vodka.
