Add a twist
The simplicity of the Absolut Lime Soda means the possibilities are endless.
- If you prefer lemon over lime, swap Absolut Lime for Absolut Citron – our award-winning lemon-flavored vodka – and garnish with a lemon wedge. Hey, when life gives you lemons…
- Add a botanical twist by swapping soda water for tonic water to give your drink a distinct crisp, mineral-quality with a hint of bitter quinine. So simple yet so good!
- If you’re looking to add an herbal quality to your drink, muddle a few slices of cucumber and some fresh mint leaves in the bottom of the glass before adding ice, Absolut Lime and soda water. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig.
Common questions
Still looking for tips and inspiration for Absolut Lime Soda? We’ll leave you with these common questions.
Soda water is essentially just carbonated water. Tonic water, however, is carbonated water with added quinine and usually a sweetener. Since Absolut Lime is bursting with zesty lime flavor, it works perfectly with the neutrality of soda water. But hey, it’s your drink – mix it up!
Use a flavored vodka like Absolut Lime. Yes, it’s that easy!
Yes, you can swap lime cordial for lime juice, but they’re quite different, and your drink will resemble a vodka Gimlet more than a vodka soda. Lime cordial is sweeter and less tart, so you’ll need to tweak the quantities and perhaps add extra sour elements, like lime juice or citric acid, to balance your drink.
