Vodka Press Recipe

Last weekend was a weekend for cocktails and drinks, I created two drink recipes: the Vodka Press and the Tuaca Lemon Drop Martini. Both drinks were so delicious, and the experience was enjoyable for me and my husband too, as he helped me a lot.

I kept hearing about this Vodka Press a lot on Reddit, so I thought, why not give it a shot and enjoy it at home? It doesn’t require too many ingredients, and it’s easy to make, so I knew I could do it without much effort or special skills.

I made my Vodka Press with vodka, of course, and I used Tito’s brand. I also added Sprite and club soda. The taste was good, not too special, but still enjoyable, Since it was so easy to make, I definitely plan to make it again.

For the ingredients used, you can also use ginger ale instead of Sprite. I chose Sprite because I love it a lot, And for the vodka, you can use any brand you love the most.
