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.
