Sour VodkaCocktail recipe
Rating
The Sour Vodka cocktail is a refreshing and zesty mix that combines the clean taste of vodka with the sweet and tangy flavor of raspberry schnapps. Topped with ginger ale, it provides a bubbly and moderately spicy kick, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy a fruity yet slightly sharp drink.
Served in a highball glass, the Sour Vodka offers a simple yet pleasing aesthetic and a palate that balances the potent flavor of spirits with the milder, more approachable notes of fruit and ginger. It's a drink that boasts a harmonious blend of flavors suitable for various occasions.
