How to Make Vodka Tonic – Best Drink Recipes
There are no big secrets to making a great vodka tonic other than choosing quality ingredients. The drink is made in a tall glass filled with ice with a shot of vodka and a twist of lime juice then topped off with tonic water. The transparent taste is a great way to present your favorite vodka and explore different tonic waters.
Compared to other soda cocktails one of the most appealing aspects of this drink is its lack of sweetness. While most tonics contain some sort of sweetener it’s typically much less than ginger ale and other flavored sodas. Instead the quinine in tonic water dominates the flavor of the carbonated beverage giving it a dry semi-bitter profile that’s surprisingly refreshing. This makes vodka and tonic water a perfect complement to meals. You can taste the food without the distraction of the alcohol and it also acts as a palate cleanser.
