Ingredients

2 oz premium vodka
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz simple syrup
6-8 fresh mint leaves
Club soda
Ice cubes
Lime wheel and mint sprig for garnish

Instructions

Place mint leaves in the cocktail shaker.

Add simple syrup and gently muddle the mint to release its oils.
Pour in vodka and fresh lime juice.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds until well chilled.

Fill a Collins glass with fresh ice.
Double strain the mixture into the glass to remove mint pieces.
Top with club soda (about 2-3 oz).

Garnish with a lime wheel and fresh mint sprig.

Notes

Store-bought simple syrup works well, but making it at home is easy. Mix equal parts sugar and water, heat until dissolved, then cool.

Fresh lime juice makes a big difference – avoid bottled versions.

The drink stays cold longer with large ice cubes instead of crushed ice.

For a stronger mint taste, add more leaves during muddling.

Tasting Notes

The Minty Lime Vodka Splash hits the palate with a bright, zesty lime flavor. Fresh mint adds a cool, refreshing layer that mingles with the clean taste of vodka.

A gentle sweetness balances the tart citrus notes. The drink remains light and crisp without being too sugary or overwhelming.

The carbonation creates tiny bubbles that dance on the tongue. This adds a pleasant fizzy texture that makes each sip lively and refreshing.
