2 Ingredient San Pellegrino Limonata Vodka Soda!

It’s ridiculously easy to keep all of the ingredients to make this yummy lemon cocktail on hand! This beverage is VERY easy drinking.

So check yourself before you wreck yourself…

I can’t take credit for this San Pellegrino drink. A friend made it for me as we lounged in her pool one hot, hot, summer day.

But it is ridiculously delicious, super refreshing and painfully simple so I knew I had to share. If it ain’t easy, I’m not doing it.

This Vodka Soda is easy to take along when you are on a mom getaway and want some easy drinks for the room.

There have been so many times when I’ve taken the items to make a Corpse Reviver 2 but this is even easier to bring.

I mean, absinthe? Really?! I know I am an over-packer but even I roll my eyes at this. 

What is Vodka Soda?

Vodka soda is a portion of vodka, mixed with a soda – or bubbly beverage. The classic recipe is with soda water. Often you need to add a little squeeze of citrus to it for extra flavor.

A traditional Vodka Soda isn’t sweet. But can be sweetened up depending on what type of soda you use.

What is the Best Type of Soda?

The best type of soda is totally up to you and your taste preferences. If you don’t like sweet drinks, then you would want to stick with club soda (also sometimes called sparkling water).

If you want something sweeter, San Pellegrino Limonata is a great option. But you can also do something like Vodka and Coke. Vodka will literally work with any liquid.

What Kind of Drink is San Pellegrino Limonata?

San Pellegrino Limonata is a sparkling lemon beverage that is said to transport you to the hills Italy. That’s a big promise for a drink. But it sure does taste great with a little vodka in it.

It has more sugar than coke, so this is not a low cal beverage. But the taste is crisp and tastes more bitter than a traditional lemonade. It’s super refreshing on a hot day.

Pellegrino Drink Ingredients

You guys, it’s just San Pellegrino and vodka. So easy. And you’re going to totally love it.

• Vodka You can see my quick review for Beluga vodka in my Long Vodka post!
• Pellegrino Limonata This sparkling lemon Italian soda is not found at every grocery store, so keep your eyes out so you know where to find them when you need them. You can buy it on Amazon.

Steps to make San Pellegrino and Soda:

• Pour. It’s that easy.
• It’s roughly one part vodka to 3 parts San Pellegrino Limonata.

There’s no real step by step here because there really isn’t anything special. Just add the two ingredients over ice. Doesn’t matter which order

Hot tip: Do NOT put this in a cocktail shake it and shake like crazy. You will have a huge vodka soda mess on your hands. (Never shake carbonated beverages…)

Yup. That’s it. I’m not a heavy drinker (even though I feel like this blog and my Instagram would suggest otherwise. :) If you don’t like a strong drink, start with 1 oz. of vodka.

If you want to get turnt, add more. Sorry, I was watching Real Housewives of Atlanta last night and Eva wanted to turn up for her bachelorette party in Tokyo…

This Limonata drink is my favorite flavor of the sparkling soda! But what I love about this recipe is that you can use any San Pellegrino flavor you want!

And they have delicious options like grapefruit and blood orange. 

If you are having a pool party, you could easily grab some of the flavors and set up a little do it yourself bar for people to put together their own drinks. That’s the kind of hostess I am… :)

This vodka soda drink idea is so great because it’s an quick and easy cocktail but you can also serve the San Pellegrino to non-drinking guests. It’s a double threat.

A simple lemon garnish is all you need. Or not. Whatever I’m not the garnish police. 

So refreshing.

I love this recipe because it is easy to make just one or a bunch of them. One can of lemon San Pellegrino soda made about 3 cocktails when served in lowball glasses.

The glass I used in the above image is really skinny so you could probably get about 3 cocktails out of a can this way too.

So, to recap, you can either have a lovely evening with a few gal pals or a rip-roaring night by yourself. I’m not here to judge. Do what you need to do.

And if you want to get all gourmet on this beeyotch think about muddling some fresh herbs in the glass first. Mmmmmmmm.

I first shared this easy Pellegrino drink on the blog in 2012. Can you believe it?! My photography and style have changed so much back then. But I still support the use of the plastic monkey.
