Vodka Cruiser ???

How would you go about making vodka cruisers , yes i know vodka/neutral ... and flavour , but would you just use lemonade and a good quality cordial ? wiki says theyre 4.8% ABV

Misses used to drink these before they got expensive, and i think this is the foot in the door to get her being "supportive" :teasing-neener:

would be good if i can get close to the flavour

try Bickfords for quality cordials if ya want to copy the vodka leave the heads in and perhaps top up 20% with cheap Moselle or passion pop for bubbles :teasing-tease:

Out of curiosity, how well do spirits hold carbonation?

I don't think it's the spirit that holds the carb, the mixer will. I have never had tap spirits at my place but have had pre-mix kegged spirits before (rum n coke) and they're good!

Maybe a soda stream? For smaller amounts, rather than having 18l of one flavour. You will just have to play around with it, ribena would make a good black currant flavour!

Priming up fizzy flavours with a soda stream and adding vodka/neutral would give you a pretty close to commercial product. High end cordials and soda stream would leave most people convinced you'd given them the best voddy cruiser of their life!
