Vodka sour

The balance here is spot on—the Ketel One comes through cleanly while the Toschi sugar keeps it from turning too sharp. I poured it over one big ice cube and it tasted like something from a decent cocktail bar, not a bottled mix. It’s dangerously easy to sip on a weeknight.

The citric acid gives it that perfect tang without tipping into saccharine, and the Ketel One base comes through clean. I cracked one open after a long week and it hit the spot instantly. Just enough water to keep it sippable straight from the bottle.

This is my second box and I’m honestly impressed again — the tang from the citric acid hits right after the smooth vodka finish, and it’s not cloying at all. Poured it over a big ice cube and it tasted like a proper cocktail, not a mixer.
