Pepperclear - Vodka & Dr Pepper Highball

Pepperclear combines Vodka and Dr Pepper in a straightforward highball. Vodka provides a neutral backbone while the soda brings caramel, cherry-like fruit, spice, sweetness, and carbonation.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

• Vodka - clean spirit base.
• Dr Pepper - sweet cola-style spice and carbonation.

Equipment

• Highball Glass
• Jigger
• Bar spoon
• Ice

Two Ingredients, One Clear Ratio

Six ounces of soda against one and a half ounces of vodka gives the drink a 4:1 mixer ratio, keeping it easygoing and repeatable.

Substitutions & Variations

• Use another dark cola-style soda.
• Add a squeeze of lime for more acidity.
• Replace vodka with whiskey for a richer version.
• Use diet soda when preferred.

Helpful Tips

• Chill the soda before building.
• Fill the glass fully with ice.
• Add the soda last.
• Stir only once or twice to preserve carbonation.
