Review

Dry and refreshing with a pleasant minerality.

The proportion of soda water to vodka in this recipe is 2.5 to 1 (a ratio that appears to have the widest appeal) consisting of one 150 ml can of soda water to 60 ml vodka = 210ml plus ice melt total liquid in glass. If using a 12oz glass (350ml to fill level), the ice displacement = approximately 140ml, so ice forms 40% of the contents of the glass. To raise the percentage of ice to the ideal of around 50%, you should use a 14oz Collins glass or a Spanish-style Copa glass.

I made this for the sole reason that I wanted to use up some soda water. At the first sip it reminded me a little too much of Screwdrivers at parties in my youth (and I must also confess to using a cheap vodka), so I added two dashes of grapefruit bitters and I have to say that, to my taste, it adds a pleasant complexity that rounds off the harshness of the vodka.

There's a dangerous twist on that called "Skinny Bitch" (+15ml lime juice) that perfectly hides alcohol and tastes a bit more interesting.
