Vodka Summer Sunrise
Hot days, cold drinks - sometimes I wish summer would never end! This Vodka Summer Sunrise was bright, boozy, and bomb! You get that orange flavor, the lemon juice and zest punch, that sweet cherry, the bubbles from the sprite, and of course - the vodka! This drink was super easy to make and is sure to impress your friends! Cool off while you splash in the pool, chill out on the deck, or cheers your cups while you float down the river! A couple of these and you're sure to catch a vibe!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups Orange juice
- 1 ½ cups Vodka
- 1 cup Sprite
- 1 tbsp Grenadine divided
- Juice and zest from one lemon
- Ice
For garnish:
- Granulated Sugar
- Lemon Wedges
- Splash of Sprite
Instructions
To decorate the rims:
- Add some sugar to a small dish and using a lemon wedge, run it around the edges of both glasses.
- Put the rims directly into the dish and jiggle it around a bit so that the sugar sticks to the edges!
To make the vodka summer sunrise:
- In a large pitcher, mix all cocktail ingredients besides garnishes and grenadine until just combined. Don't over stir because we don't want the Sprite in there to go flat!
- Fill the glasses up with ice and pour the mixture in. Top with grenadine and additional sprite, if desired. Garnish the glasses with lemon wedges and enjoy!
