'Grey Goose,' the renowned vodka manufacturer and retailer, has debuted a new recipe on its website for 'Vodka Lime and Soda.' While the brand does not typically release pre-mixed beverages, Grey Goose takes an alternative route whereby it sells the variety of ingredients required to make several recipes, then publishes various recipes that use its products.
The Vodka Lime and Soda recipe includes Grey Goose vodka, soda, a mint sprig, lime wedges, and is served on the rocks. Each of the ingredients required to make this drink, aside from the lime wedges and sprig, are offered on Grey Goose's website. Mixing drinks from home is a tale as old as time, though a brand offering a specific set of instructions to recreate the quality of a professionally crafted specialty cocktail on the other hand, is much less common.
