Tasting Notes

The STOLI Green Flag delivers a crisp and refreshing mix with a fruity backbone. The clean profile of STOLI Premium Vodka allows the flavors of melon liqueur to shine through with a soft, sweet aroma. Passionfruit syrup adds tropical depth, bringing a tangy-sweet character that pairs naturally with the citrus brightness of fresh lime juice. Soda water keeps the drink light, effervescent, and easy to sip. The garnish of fresh passionfruit not only adds visual appeal but also a subtle aromatic note that enhances the tropical feel. This cocktail is balanced, bright, and perfect for when you want something light yet flavorful.

Equipment and Glassware

A Collins glass is ideal for this STOLI Green Flag, offering enough room for ice, mixers, and garnish. Use a jigger for precise measurements of vodka, liqueur, and syrups to keep the flavor profile balanced. A bar spoon is useful for stirring without losing carbonation. A citrus juicer or reamer will help extract fresh lime juice quickly and efficiently. For garnishing, a small knife is necessary to halve the passionfruit neatly. A long cocktail stirrer ensures the soda water is gently integrated without flattening the drink, keeping the effervescence intact.
