Perfect bubbles and a touch of vodka and lime make this our go-to for a quick late-afternoon drink. We love to drink it outside while we BBQ or while watching the kids run around like crazy in the forest. Making this drink the perfect accompaniment to a relaxing evening.

Tell me all about this Vodka Lime Seltzer
- How is it different – The popular name for a similar drink is a Vodka Tonic. However, that is made with sugary (typically high-fructose corn syrup) tonic water. We much prefer this drink with zero sugar and zero calorie seltzer water and adding a bit of all-natural agave for the perfect tart/sweet combo.
- Flavor – The great thing about this recipe is it can totally be made to your tastes. Start with your favorite brand of Vodka. We like to use a local brand made here in Golden, CO called Vanjak. It’s delicious and pure. Their vodka is corn-based and gluten free. Fresh limes add the perfect amount of tart flavor. You can substitute with lime juice in a jar (or those cute squeeze bottles), but the taste won’t be as fresh. Last, we LOVE our local Boulder, CO Madhava all-natural organic agave. YUM!
- Difficulty Level – Super super simple. Literally not sure if any recipe could be easier.

This drink is great because you get to control how strong and/or sweet it is. I prefer strong and slightly sweet, with an appetizer on the side.
