Smirnoff Citrus Vodka

Smirnoff Citrus adds citrus flavor to vodka. Try it with cold soda and a strip of lemon peel, or use it as the citrus accent in a vodka sour. Start with fresh juice and keep syrup separate so you can adjust the finished drink to taste.

This listing is for the 50 ml size.

For a simple long drink, measure 1 ounce into a tall glass filled with ice, add 3 ounces of chilled soda water and finish with a squeeze of lime. Stir gently. This gives you a clear starting point for adjusting the amount of mixer. If you prefer a sweeter drink, substitute part of the soda with cranberry juice or lemonade rather than adding syrup immediately.

For cocktails, measure the citrus and sweetener separately so you can adjust one without changing the other. Add carbonated mixers last to keep the bubbles lively. A flavored vodka can take the place of plain vodka in a familiar recipe, but start with less added sugar and let the named flavor guide your garnish. Keep the bottle tightly closed between uses and store it away from direct sunlight.

For a side-by-side comparison, keep the serving temperature and glass consistent. Change the bottle rather than the entire recipe so you can judge the difference more clearly.
