Method
Prepare and build
Chill glass
If desired, chill a highball or Collins glass by filling with ice water while you prepare the cocktail, then discard the water before building the drink.
Add ice
Fill the serving glass about two-thirds full with fresh ice cubes (approximately 1 cup).
Add triple sec
Add 0.5 oz triple sec to the glass to bring a hint of orange liqueur and balance the fresh citrus.
Light stir
Use a bar spoon to gently stir the drink 4–6 times just to integrate the vodka, juice, and triple sec with the soda without flattening the bubbles.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a matching citrus wheel or wedge on the rim and an optional mint sprig. Serve immediately with a straw or without as preferred.
Batching (makes 8 servings)
Scale ingredients
To make a pitcher for 8 cocktails, multiply the per-cocktail ingredients by 8: 16 oz Deep Eddy flavored vodka, 16 oz fresh squeezed citrus juice, 4 oz triple sec, 12 oz lemon-lime soda, and plenty of ice.
Assemble pitcher
Combine vodka, fresh juice, and triple sec in a pitcher with a large amount of ice. Stir to chill and slightly dilute for balance.
