Cherry Vanilla Vodka Soda Glass

When it comes to cocktails I love them light, refreshing and not too sweet. Whether it’s for happy hour with my girlfriends, a moment to myself on my patio, or a lazy Saturday night with my husband, I love getting creative with mixologies like this Cherry Vanilla Vodka Soda. A vodka soda is made with just a few simple ingredients and is low in sugar and calories. It’s the perfect way to treat yourself without breaking the calorie bank.

Ingredients

  • Vanilla Vodka: I usually use Smirnoff vanilla vodka as it is slightly sweet and very smooth while also being reasonably priced. But you can also use your favorite brand of vanilla vodka.
  • cherry syrup: I’m just going to steal some juice from my jar of maraschino cherries! But there are plenty of flavored syrups that you can buy and use to add the cherry flavor as well.
  • lime juice: Fresh lime juice provides a citrus flavor and needed brightness that helps to tame some of the more artificial cherry and vanilla flavors.
  • Soda: Makes the drink a bit fizzy and balances the flavors.

How to make a cherry vanilla vodka soda

Pour vodka into glasses

Start your Cherry Vanilla Vodka Soda by pouring ice into four glasses. I recommend large ice cubes as they melt more slowly and don’t water down the drink. Next, pour your favorite vanilla vodka into each glass.

Pour cherry juice into glasses

Next, add a squeeze of cherry juice at a time.

Squeeze lime into glasses

Followed by the fresh lime juice.

Adding lemonade to glasses

Top up each glass with lemonade or flavored mineral water for added flavor.

Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and some maraschino cherries and enjoy your Cherry Vanilla Vodka Soda!

Frequently asked Questions:

Can you drink vanilla vodka straight?

It’s possible, and depending on the brand, it will still be delicious. I think it tastes even better on ice and in a cocktail.

Is cherry vodka a thing?

Yes, and I believe Smirnoff also makes a cherry-infused vodka. This would make an awfully strong drink if you doubled the amount of vodkas, but maybe a stronger drink is what you want!

How can I make a Virgin cocktail or mocktail out of this drink?

Instead of vanilla vodka, use cream soda or higher lemonade and add a few drops of a quality vanilla extract.
