Cooking Tips

  • Adjust the sweetness: Prefer it less sweet? Go heavier on club soda and lighter on lemon-lime soda.
  • Make it fancy: Toss in fresh mint, cucumber slices, or a splash of cranberry juice for extra flair.
  • Chill everything: For peak refreshment, chill your glass and ingredients before assembling.
  • Use flavored vodka: Elevate your press with citrus, cucumber, or berry vodka for a simple twist.
