History
This drink is dry and refreshing, with a pleasing minerality. The ratio of soda water to vodka in this recipe is 2.5 to 1, which appears to be the most widely appreciated. This comprises one 150 ml can of soda water combined with 60 ml of vodka, resulting in 210ml of liquid plus melted ice. When using a 12oz glass (filled to 350ml), the ice displacement is approximately 140ml, meaning ice constitutes 40% of the glass's contents. To achieve the optimal ice content of around 50%, a 14oz Collins glass or a Spanish-style Copa glass is recommended.
