Three ingredients plus garnish of choice are all you need for this refreshingly light and crowd-pleasing cocktail!
My husband is a big fan of Fresca, so a friend of ours concocted this drink to please him. I thought the combination was brilliant and took a liking to it myself.
The best part is that it tastes great with or without the alcohol. For a non-alcoholic version, simply skip the vodka or replace it with club soda or sparkling water.
Given the many flavored seltzers that are now available, you could also experiment with one of the citrus varieties. Grapefruit makes sense, but layering the citrus flavors with the likes of mandarin or lime would likely be nice too.
For added value, the grapefruit juice provides a good dose of Vitamin C!
