Looking for a crisp and refreshing cocktail?

The Victory Vodka Collins is a modern twist on the classic Tom Collins. It brings a perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors.

This easy-to-make drink needs just four ingredients: vodka, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda.

The drink got its name after World War II when vodka started gaining popularity in the United States.

Its clean taste and smooth finish made it a hit at parties and gatherings.

This cocktail works great for warm spring and summer days.

The bubbles from the club soda give it a light, fizzy texture that makes it extra refreshing.

You can garnish it with a lemon wheel and cherry to make it look nice.

Notes

Serve the drink right away for the best taste and fizz.

Fresh lemon juice works better than bottled juice.

One medium lemon yields about 1 oz of juice.

Store-bought simple syrup works fine.

You can make it at home by mixing equal parts sugar and hot water.

A high-quality vodka improves the taste.

Keep vodka in the freezer for an extra cold drink.

Club soda can be replaced with seltzer water.

Don’t use tonic water as it changes the taste.
