How to make a caprioska

I don't really feel like blogging about myself at the moment so I'll just jot down some random cocktails and how I prepare them, if there's any errors feel free to correct me, don't worry I won't be offended, learning something new is always good ahahahaha. It's not as hard as it looks once you get the hang of it but then again so is everything else =]

Caprioska>>

Ingredients>
Vodka (45mL), Lime (quartered) or Lime Juice (about 10mL), Sugar (1 tsp - teaspoon) preferably NOT brown, Soda Water.

Instructions>
Muddle (Basically like crushing and twisting with something similar to a rolling pin =P) Vodka, Lime and Sugar in a cocktail shaker until sugar is dissolved.
Add Ice, Shake until shaker is chilled.
Strain into a glass half filled with ice.
Top off with soda water.
Garnish with a wedge of lime.
Serve with a straw.

For additional flavours, add soft fruit of your choice into the muddle to release flavours (strawberries, apricots, w/e). Garnish with a piece of that fruit to make it look more appealing =D

A very refreshing drink for summer, hell I downed a few of these over the past week. You can't really taste the alcohol as much as a cosmopolitan but this is supposed to be a fruity drink anyway. Oh and if you think it's too bitter/sour or not sweet enough just add an extra tsp of sugar to the muddle =P

Good luck and have fun with it!
