How to Mix
Note: If you’re planning to make homemade lemonade, which we highly recommend, prepare it the day before. Check out the ‘Common Questions’ section for detailed instructions.
- Grab a highball glass and fill it with ice cubes.
- Use a jigger to measure and pour 45 ml Absolut Wild Berri into the glass.
- Use the jigger again to measure and pour 150 ml of homemade lemonade.
- Use a bar spoon to give everything a gentle stir.
- Slice a lemon to create a wheel and then perch it on the rim of your glass. Next, make a small cut at the bottom of a fresh strawberry and perch it next to the lemon for the ultimate finish.
Variations of an Absolut Wild Berri Lemonade
- You can’t talk about variations without acknowledging the original Vodka Lemonade, which mixes Absolut Vodka, homemade lemonade and soda water. It’s a classic for a reason!
- In the recipe and video on this page, you’ll see that we garnish our drink with a strawberry and lemon wheel. However, the beauty of Absolut Wild-Berri is its complex mix of forest berry flavors. This means you can garnish your drink with any berry – blueberries, blackberries, raspberries – whatever you fancy!
- Homemade lemonade is one of the best mixers for cocktails and works incredibly well with any of our flavored vodkas. Seriously. If you want to go all-out with lemon, use Absolut Citron, or skip the forest for another type of berry – Absolut Raspberri – our raspberry-flavored vodka.
- Want to add some heat to the mix? Reach for Absolut Peppar! Black pepper and lemon are a classic culinary pairing, but they work wonders in cocktails. Now you’ve got a lemonade that’s spicy and delicious!
