Lemon-Lime Soda – A zesty, citrusy sparkle
Notes
Prefer a stronger kick? Add an extra ½ part of pear vodka.

Want a frozen version? Blend with ice for a slushy, refreshing treat!
For an elegant touch: Serve in a champagne flute instead of a highball glass.
Helpful Tips
Use chilled ingredients – Keep your pear vodka, schnapps, and soda cold before mixing for an extra refreshing cocktail.
Muddle fresh fruit for extra flavor – Try muddling a few fresh blueberries or grapes at the bottom of the glass before adding ice for a more intense fruity taste.
Experiment with different sodas – Swap lemon-lime soda for tonic water for a more sophisticated, less sweet version.
For an extra fancy touch – Serve in a champagne flute or coupe glass and garnish with an edible flower or a sugar rim.
Make it extra bubbly – Use prosecco or sparkling wine instead of soda water for a more festive drink.
Hosting a party? Multiply the ingredients and serve in a large punch bowl with floating pear slices and blueberries.
Want a stronger drink? Increase the pear vodka to 1.5 parts for a bolder cocktail.
Prefer a frozen version? Blend all ingredients with ice for a smooth, slushy summer treat!
Conservation and Storage
Best Served Fresh – This cocktail is carbonated, so it’s best enjoyed immediately after mixing to preserve its fizzy texture.
Pre-Mix Option – You can pre-mix the pear vodka and berry schnapps ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Add soda water and lemon-lime soda just before serving to maintain the bubbles.
Batch for a Party – If making a large batch, mix everything except the soda in a pitcher and refrigerate. When ready to serve, pour into glasses with fresh ice and top with soda water and lemon-lime soda.
Frozen Version – If blended into a slushy, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 hours. Give it a quick stir or re-blend before serving.
Avoid Freezing the Mixed Drink – Since soda-based ingredients lose their carbonation when frozen, it’s best to add them fresh.
Substitutions and Variations
No pear vodka? Use regular vodka with a splash of pear juice.
No berry schnapps? Use raspberry liqueur or crème de cassis.
Want it even bubblier? Use prosecco instead of soda water!
