Vodka Lemon
原料
- Vodka 5 cl
- Lemon Juice 7 cl
- Lemon peel 1 Slice
- Ice cubes
调制步骤
The vodka lemon is prepared directly in a highball glass or in a large tumbler: put 6-7 ice cubes in the glass, pour the vodka, lemonade and mix with a bar spoon. Finally decorate with a slice of lemon and, if you prefer, add a few mint leaves. Your vodka lemon is ready to be served.
Vodka Lemon是一款简洁明快的鸡尾酒，以伏特加和新鲜柠檬汁调制，通常加入少量简单糖浆平衡酸度，加冰盛入古典杯或直接调入高球杯以苏打水补顶。柠檬的明亮酸爽完美衬托了伏特加的中性纯净，是一款清爽直接的经典选择。
History & Origins
The Vodka Lemon is a simple modern cocktail of disputed origin, likely developed in Continental European bar culture — particularly in France and Italy — where lemon juice and vodka combinations became popular from the 1970s onward. The drink's extreme citrus-to-spirit ratio distinguishes it from American-style vodka-and-juice cocktails, reflecting a European preference for sharper, less sweet mixed drinks. No formal attribution exists.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Intense fresh lemon zest and juice, with a clean vodka note that does not interfere with the citrus dominance. Palate: Very tart and citrus-forward, with the large measure of lemon juice providing a sharp, refreshing acidity; vodka contributes a clean alcoholic warmth that amplifies without competing with the citrus. Finish: Tart, clean, and refreshing with a persistent lemon zest note.
Pro Tip
Squeeze fresh lemons immediately before serving to ensure the juice is at peak freshness and acidity — bottled lemon juice produces a noticeably inferior result.
