Notes
Substitutes:
Gin is a fantastic substitute for Vodka if you prefer a more botanical flavor. For a citrusy twist, I sometimes use lemon or lime-flavored soda instead of tonic water.Making a Pitcher:
- Scale: To make a pitcher serving 8, you'll need 16 oz of Vodka and 32 oz tonic water.
- Mix: Combine the Vodka and tonic water in a large pitcher and stir well.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into ice-filled highball glasses, garnish with a lemon or lime wedge, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Vodka Substitute: Opt for a non-alcoholic vodka substitute; several brands offer a similar taste without the alcohol content.
- Proceed As Usual: Use the non-alcoholic vodka substitute instead of regular Vodka and follow the original steps to enjoy a refreshing non-alcoholic version.
