Ice, fizz, quick prep, and simple ingredients: that’s a perfect summertime cocktail, right there. On warm, muggy days, the Proof Syrup Vodka Soda hits the spot every time.
This simple, refreshing cocktail comes together fast with almost any Proof Syrup flavor — Orange for a bright, clean citrus version, Traditional for something rounder and less sweet, or Pecan if you want a little warmth in a cold drink. Super-customizable, the Proof Syrup Vodka Soda is also light on calories and carbs and low in alcohol by volume (ABV).
The key to this recipe? Make good choices, as our kindergarten teacher used to say. A good vodka and the right amount of syrup (for you) make all the difference.
Proof Syrup Vodka Soda
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Vodka
- ½ oz to 1 oz Proof Syrup (Adjust to Taste)
- Club Soda to Top
- Lemon or Lime Wedge to Garnish
Tools:
- Jigger
- Shaker
- Strainer
- Collins Glass
Steps:

Variations:
Start with just ½ oz of syrup and adjust to your taste, or mix two flavors. Use a vodka you actually like, plain or flavored. Swap in a flavored sparkling water, like AHA, LaCroix, or Waterloo, for the club soda. (Our current favorite: Limoncello LaCroix with Orange Proof Syrup and a lemon twist.) Add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime if you want more acid. Garnish with citrus or any other fruit you like.
