Russian Fizz - Vodka, Lemonade & Lemon-Lime Soda Highball

Russian Fizz is a straightforward vodka mixed drink built tall over ice. Vodka stays neutral while Lemonade supplies tart citrus and Lemon Lime Soda adds sweetness, carbonation, and length.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

• Vodka - provides the clean spirit base.
• Lemonade - adds tart citrus and body.
• Lemon Lime Soda - supplies sweetness and carbonation.

Equipment

• Collins Glass
• Jigger
• Bar spoon

Built for Easy Refreshment

The large mixer volume keeps the one-ounce vodka pour light and sessionable. Lemonade adds enough acidity to stop the soda from tasting one-note.

Substitutions & Variations

• Replace vodka with gin for more botanical character.
• Use soda water in place of part of the lemon-lime soda for a drier version.
• Add a small squeeze of fresh lemon for sharper acidity.
• Use citrus vodka for a stronger lemon profile.

Helpful Tips

• Chill the mixers before building.
• Fill the glass well with ice.
• Add soda last and stir only briefly.
• Serve immediately while carbonated.
