Ingredients
- Ice
- fresh lime
- 1.5 oz Vodka more or less to taste
- 1 oz simple syrup (1 TBS) more or less to taste
- 6 oz Seltzer or club soda more or less to taste
Instructions
- When ready to assemble the vodka coolers, first you want to supreme the limes. Like I described above. Once you have your limes cut into segments, place 2-3 segments in each glass and muddle them (with a muddler or wooden spoon). Get them all broken down, so you have pulp floating around your cocktail, yum! OR you can just squeeze them if you don't enjoy the pulp.
- Fill the glass with as much ice as you like, then vodka, then simple syrup (ratio will depend on the size glass you use and your preference for sweet).
- Top with seltzer or club, garnish with a lime slice and maybe a few thin shards of lime peel in the glass or a lime wedge and enjoy!!
Notes
Simple Syrup Recipe combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a small pot and heat just until sugar is fully melted when stirred. Heat the mixture just until all sugar is melted (no granules remain) and liquid is cloudy-clear, Do not let it boil. Cool completely. Store in a mason jar for up to a month in your fridge.
It's a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water so if you want to make a smaller batch or a larger batch its easy to do so.
You can also flavor your simple syrup with fresh lime juice (or any other fruit flavor you'd enjoy). A Flavored simple syrup will keep 1-2 weeks in the fridge. Just swap out some of the water (½ cup) for the fresh lime juice. So that means ½ cup water, ½ cup fresh lime juice and 1 cup sugar.
