For an extra touch of sophistication, consider using flavored vodka, such as citrus or berry. Adjust the amount of sweet and sour mix to taste. Freshly squeezed citrus juice will elevate the flavors! To ensure optimal chill, pre-chill your Collins glasses in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before preparation. Sparkling wine can substitute carbonated water for a luxurious twist.
