Notes
Pro Tips
- Keep your vodka, Aperol, and soda water cold before mixing. This helps the drink stay crisp and refreshing without needing too much ice.
- Add the soda water at the end and give a gentle stir. This keeps the bubbles lively and prevents the drink from going flat too quickly.
- If your cherry vodka is already sweet, you may not need anything extra. If it tastes a bit sharp, add a small splash of simple syrup or cherry juice to balance it out.
