Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Measuring jigger
  • Glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces vodka
  • 4 ounces fresh key lime juice
  • 2 ounces fresh lemon juice
  • 2 ounces fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups club soda, chilled
  • Ice cubes
  • 4 lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.
  • Add the vodka, key lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, and sugar to the shaker.
  • Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 20 seconds until the sugar dissolves and the mixture feels cold.
  • Fill four glasses with fresh ice cubes.
  • Strain the shaken mixture evenly into the four glasses.
  • Top each glass with 1/2 cup club soda and stir gently once or twice.
  • Add one lime wedge to the rim of each glass before serving.

Notes

Chill the club soda ahead of time so the drink stays cold without extra ice that could water it down. If the lime flavor tastes too sharp, stir in an extra half teaspoon of sugar per glass before adding the soda. The lime wedges provide both aroma and a quick way to adjust tartness at the table.
