Method

In A Can

1

Chill

Chill the hard seltzer can and vodka in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before preparing. Cold ingredients keep the drink bright and fizzy.

2

Prepare glass

Fill a highball or Collins glass with 1 cup of ice (enough to come near the top). If you prefer served in the can, fill the can 3/4 with ice using a clean wide-mouth funnel or skip glass and ice per can preference.

3

Measure and combine

Pour 1.5 fl oz chilled vodka over the ice, then add 0.5 fl oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 fl oz simple syrup (or agave). These amounts provide a balanced brightness and light sweetness to complement the seltzer.

4

Top with hard seltzer

Carefully open the 12 fl oz hard seltzer and slowly pour it into the glass (or into the can if using the can as vessel) to preserve carbonation. Tilt the glass and pour down the side to minimize foam. Leave a small headspace to avoid overflow.

5

Finish and garnish

If using, add 1 dash of bitters on top to add aromatic depth. Gently stir once with a bar spoon (2–3 slow turns) to incorporate vodka and lime without flattening the seltzer. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.

6

Serve

Serve immediately while cold and carbonated. Provide a straw or sip directly from the glass or can, enjoying the bright, effervescent cocktail.
