Vodka Press with a Lime
This drink is great for those in between people who don’t want just a vodka soda or vodka tonic, and those who don’t want just a vodka seven. Perfect balance of flavors!
How to Make a Vodka Press Cocktail:
- Pour 1.5 ounces of vodka into a collins glass filled with ice.
1.5 is the standard amount of a shot of alcohol, so feel free to use a shot glass as your measuring cup.
- Pour in about 4 ounces of soda water.
It doesn’t have to be exact, just however much soda water you want.
- Pour in about 4 ounces of 7up (or other lemon-lime soda).
The ratio between soda water to 7up is different for each person, but for a basic vodka press, 50/50 is a good starting point.
- Serve with a lime wedge to garnish.
All there is to it!

Go the extra mile
- I like to add a splash of grenadine to mine to make it more of a cherry press.
- Try using different flavored vodkas to add different flavor profiles to your drink.
So that’s the Recipe to make a Vodka Press. Looking at other Vodka Cocktails, it is essentially a highball. This Vodka Mixed Drink is a clever way of ordering your vodka soda with a little sweetness, but not overly so then a normal vodka 7up would garner. Try it out and see if you like it!
