How to Make Lemon Lime Spritz

Step 2: Fill the cup with clean ice cubes from your Gator's dedicated ice bin. Clean ice means crisp, pure flavor.

Step 3: Pour 2 oz of vodka from your organized bottle compartment. Any vodka works for this light, easy-drinking cocktail.

Step 4: Add 5 oz of lemon-lime soda. The insulated compartments keep soda cold and fizzy.

Step 5: Add just 0.5 oz of sour mix for a touch of tartness. Don't overdo it - just a splash is perfect.

Step 6: Give it a gentle stir to combine without losing carbonation. Garnish with a fresh lemon slice from your Gator's front storage pocket. Serve immediately and enjoy the simplicity!

🎯 Pro Tips & Tricks

🍋 Sour Mix Alternative: Skip bottled sour mix and use fresh lemon juice instead. It tastes brighter and more natural.

💧 Soda Ratio: The 2:5 vodka-to-soda ratio keeps this light and crushable. Adjust to taste but don't go too heavy on vodka.

🧊 Extra Cold: Pre-chill your lemon-lime soda in the Gator's insulated compartments for the coldest, fizziest drinks.

🥃 Vodka Quality: You don't need premium vodka here. Mid-shelf works perfectly for this simple, refreshing drink.

🍋 Garnish Squeeze: Give the lemon slice a squeeze over the drink before dropping it in for extra citrus brightness.

🍹 Keep It Simple: This drink's beauty is in its simplicity. Don't over-complicate it with extra ingredients.

⚡ All-Day Sipper: This is the perfect light cocktail for long tailgate days. You can enjoy multiple rounds without feeling weighed down.

💰 Budget Win: One of the most cost-effective cocktails you can make - simple ingredients, big satisfaction.
