Cocktail

2 oz vodka

3/4 oz Fresh lime juice

1/2 oz fresh lemon juice

3 oz zero-sugar lemon-lime soda (chilled)

1/4 tsp liquid zero-calorie sweetener (e.g., sucralose or stevia)

1 oz club soda (optional, chilled)

1 cup ice

Garnish

1 piece lime wheel

1 piece lemon twist

1 piece fresh mint sprig (optional)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass

Fill a highball or Collins glass with ice to chill while you mix the drink.

Mix base

In a cocktail shaker, add vodka, fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, and the liquid zero-calorie sweetener. Add 4-6 large ice cubes to the shaker.

Shake

Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the juices are well combined.

Strain and top

Discard the ice from the chilled glass. Strain the shaken mixture into the glass over fresh ice. Top with the chilled zero-sugar lemon-lime soda (about 3 oz). If you want a lighter, less sweet finish, add up to 1 oz club soda and reduce the lemon-lime soda by the same amount.

Adjust sweetness

Taste briefly. If you prefer it slightly sweeter, add an additional 1/8–1/4 tsp liquid sweetener and stir gently to combine.

Garnish & Serve

Garnish the drink with a lime wheel on the rim and a lemon twist dropped into the drink. Add a sprig of fresh mint if desired for an aromatic top note.

Serve immediately with a short stirring straw. Enjoy chilled.
