Fans of flavored vodkas, listen up! Absolut vodka has just released its latest city-inspired flavor, Absolut SF. Since San Francisco happens to be my hometown, I was excited to get a bottle of the limited-edition vodka that's an interesting blend of grape, dragon fruit, and papaya. Although I found the vodka to be too sweet to sip solo, I thoroughly enjoyed it in this preparation. The combination of vodka, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and soda water is a riff on the classic collins. It's a simple recipe and awesome cocktail, so why not make one to celebrate Friday? Here's the method.
