It's a simple mix of vodka, tangy lime juice, and soda water, garnished with a lime wedge. This drink is typically enjoyed as a light, crisp option that offers a zesty flavor profile with the lime providing a citrusy punch that complements the smooth taste of the vodka. The addition of Angostura bitters adds a subtle aromatic depth to the drink, making it a popular choice for those who appreciate a cocktail that is both invigorating and straightforward. The Long Vodka is often chosen for its refreshing qualities and is a common preference in social settings where a less potent alcoholic beverage is desired.
