The Vodka Energy is the party longdrink par excellence and a fixture of many club nights. Vodka meets sparkling, caffeinated energy drink to create a sweet, invigorating drink. Quick to mix and always an eye-catcher at the bar - though you should keep an eye on the amount.

Instructions

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour the vodka over the ice.
  3. Top up with well-chilled energy drink.
  4. Stir briefly.
  5. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.

Garnish: Lime wedge

Pro tip: A well-chilled energy drink makes the decisive difference - that way you need less ice and the drink does not turn watery so quickly.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the combination of vodka and energy drink considered problematic?

Caffeine can mask the effect of the alcohol, so you feel less drunk than you are. That is why you should keep an eye on the amount.

Can I also make the drink with a light energy drink?

Yes, a reduced-sugar energy drink works just as well and makes the drink a bit less sweet.

Which vodka works best?

A neutral vodka is ideal, since the energy drink dominates the taste anyway.
