Preparation

Add ice
Fill the chilled glass with cubed ice to about 3/4 full (approximately 1 cup).

Build the cocktail
Pour 4 oz purple grape juice into the glass over the ice, then add 1.5 oz vodka.

Add acidity
Add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, add 0.25 oz simple syrup now.

Top with ginger ale
Gently top with 2 oz ginger ale. Stir very lightly once or twice to combine — avoid over-stirring so the ginger ale keeps its fizz.

Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.

Optional adjustments
For a stronger drink, increase vodka to 2 oz. For a lighter, more refreshing version, reduce vodka to 1 oz and increase ginger ale to 3 oz.
