The Sunshine Soda

  • 1-2 serves

  • 3 minutes

This isn’t your standard bar-rail drink. Most vodka sodas are functional, but this one is intentional. By leaning on the natural sugarcane base of Myrlèmon, we’ve added a soft, rounded sweetness that traditional mixers just can’t replicate. It’s a clean, crisp, and remarkably smooth drink that stays refreshing from the first sip to the last.

Ingredients

20ml Premium Vodka
30ml Myrlèmon
To Top  Chilled Sparkling Soda Water

Garnish

  • A fresh lime wedge and a slapped mint sprig.

Pro tip: Gently slapping the mint against your hand before garnishing releases the essential oils, hitting you with that fresh aroma before your first sip.

The Serve

  1. The Glass: Fill a tall, chilled highball glass with large, clear ice cubes. The bigger the ice, the slower the melt, keeping your drink crisp for longer.
  2. The Build: Add your vodka and Myrlèmon over the ice.
  3. The Lift: Top with chilled soda water and give it one quick, gentle stir. Just enough to combine the flavors without losing the bubbles.
  4. The Garnish: Give the mint sprig a gentle slap against your hand before tucking it in. This releases the essential oils so you catch that fresh aroma immediately.

The Experience

  • The Texture: Soft and effervescent. The sugarcane base of the Myrlèmon rounds out the bite of the vodka, making the liquid feel "velvet" rather than thin.
  • The Balance: The natural citrus of the lemon myrtle does the heavy lifting, so the lime wedge is just there to add a hit of fresh acidity that cuts through the bubbles.
  • The Vibe: It feels like the first ten minutes of the golden hour. It’s clean, sophisticated, and intentionally simple.

Clean, crisp, and remarkably smooth.
