Recipe of Vodka tonic

Vida Recetas Editorial

The vodka tonic is a classic cocktail that combines the smoothness of vodka with the effervescence of tonic water. Although often compared to a gin and tonic, the vodka tonic offers a more neutral profile, allowing the bitterness of the tonic and the citrus touch of lemon to shine. Originating from the highball tradition, this drink has become popular in bars worldwide thanks to its simplicity and versatility.

Ideal for those seeking a refreshing and light beverage, the vodka tonic is perfect for a hot afternoon or as an aperitif before a meal. Its preparation is quick and requires no advanced skills: you only need vodka, tonic water, ice, and a lemon slice. The key lies in the proportion: two parts vodka to two parts tonic, though you can adjust it according to your preference for a stronger or milder flavor.

There are variations that incorporate other citrus fruits like lime or grapefruit, or even herbs like rosemary to add an aromatic touch. However, the classic version with lemon remains the most appreciated. Dare to prepare it at home and impress your guests with this elegant and simple cocktail.
