Expert Tips
Glassware Tip
The Collins glass is taller than a highball, perfect for drinks with more mixer. Stack your ice to the top for maximum refreshment.
Sweetener Tip
Make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water. It mixes more smoothly than granulated sugar and allows precise sweetness control.
Vodka can be distilled from almost any starch or sugar source, including potatoes, grapes, corn, and even milk.
