Cocktail

12 fl oz White Claw hard seltzer (Black Cherry or Mango)1 1/2 fl oz Vodka (optional, for added strength)1/2 fl oz Fresh lime juice1/4 fl oz Simple syrup (optional, if you want sweeter)1 cup Ice1 to taste Lime wedge or wheel (garnish)2 pieces Fresh fruit (black cherries or mango slices) (optional garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Chill glass

Place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water for a minute, then discard the water. A chilled glass keeps the seltzer fizzy longer.

Add ice

Fill the chilled glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice (approximately 1 cup).

Build the drink

Pour 1.5 fl oz vodka into the glass if using. Add 0.5 fl oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 fl oz simple syrup if you prefer a slightly sweeter balance. These steps are optional—White Claw can be served straight from the can.

Top with White Claw

Carefully open a 12 fl oz can of White Claw (Black Cherry or Mango) and slowly pour it into the glass over the back of a spoon or down the side to preserve effervescence. Pour until the glass is nearly full.

Garnish and finish

Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel on the rim. For Black Cherry, add 1–2 fresh cherries or a lime wheel; for Mango, add a couple of thin mango slices or a lime wedge. Give the drink a gentle stir (one or two slow turns) to integrate the lime and syrup with minimal fizz loss.

Serve

Serve immediately while the seltzer is bubbly. Provide a straw or stirrer if desired.
