OXO angled jiggers - these are our go-to measuring tools for cocktails. They work perfectly for pouring in layers for cocktails.

Low-carb vodka

Peach Schnapps - Add in a half ounce of Peach Schnapps for additional flavor in this great vodka drink.

Blue Curacao - One of the key ingredients to turn this cocktail into the Sex in the Driveway Cocktail.

Preparation and Storage

Make Ahead - We don't suggest making this cocktail ahead of time. You don't want to lose the bubbles and carbonation from the Sprite drink.

Storage – This is a cocktail that is hard to store due to the carbonation in the Sprite.

Recipe Variations

Substitutions -Try making this great Sprite Cocktail with flavored Sprite including Sprite Cherry, Sprite Tropical Mix, or Sprite Lymonade. This can also be made with tonic water to make a Vodka and Tonic.

Soda water can also be used but you will lose the citrus flavor that comes from te Sprite.

Optional Garnish - mint leaves

Vegetarian Option - This recipe is vegetarian

Vegan Option – This recipe is vegan

Gluten Free - This recipe should be gluten-free. Double check for hidden gluten if you are concerned about the vodka

Alcohol Free Option –NA Non-Alcoholic Vodka can be used for this recipe. There are some great zero proof vodkas on the market.

Smaller Serving Size – This recipe currently makes one cocktail. You can make a smaller serving or change the amount of vodka that is used.

Larger Group/More servings – This recipe can easily be doubled or more for larger events. If you are serving this for a large event make sure it doesn't sit out for to long so you don't lose the carbonation of the Sprite.

Sugar Free – Diet Sprite or Sprite Zero Sugar can be used to lower the calories and sugar

Recipe Tips

You can adjust the amount of vodka in your cocktail based on taste and how strong you want the drink to be.

Soda is a fantastic mixer for cocktails. We love mixing with 7-up, Coca-Cola, ginger beer, root beer, cream soda, and other flavors of soda pop.

There is no need for a cocktail shaker for this mixed drink recipe. Shaking the Sprite will create a mess of bubbles.

This recipe can easily be adapted to serve in a pitcher or punch bowl. Just double, triple, or more the recipe depending on how many guests you are serving.
