Cherry Lime Vodka Tonic Cocktail

Making a Vodka Tonic

A vodka tonic is a very simple drink that is as delicious as it is refreshing. Start with a quality vodka, some bottled tonic water, and garnish with a lemon and a lime. Its simple and delicious. And if you want to take a lighter spin on it, make it with diet tonic water. You still get that sweet taste without all the calories.

This recipe was created after I posted a video for my Cherry Limeade and someone on facebook asked, but where’s the vodka? Good question, my cocktail lovin’ friends, good question. So this delicious recipe was born. With just a little bit of cherry limeade replacing some of the tonic water you get this beautiful color, but you also get a delicious twist on a classic cocktail. How perfect is it that the kids get their kid friendly drink and then you get to enjoy it with some vodka?

A Less Sweet Cocktail

If you don’t love your drinks sweet, then use club soda instead of tonic! This makes it a vodka soda, and it is one of my favorite drinks. For some people, the sweetness of the cherry limeade will be enough on it’s own to sweeten this drink.
