A practical guide to the best Au Vodka and lemonade ratio, with easy mixer measurements, a simple vodka lemonade recipe, and serving tips for a crisp, balanced drink at home.
Quick answer
Use a 1:3 ratio of Au Vodka to lemonade for a balanced, easy-drinking serve. For a 25ml measure, pour 75ml of chilled lemonade over plenty of ice. If you prefer a stronger pour, move to 1:2, but keep the lemonade cold and the glass full of ice so the drink stays crisp.
Pick the right lemonade and chill everything first
The mixer matters as much as the ratio. A cloudy or traditional lemonade brings a softer, more rounded sweetness, while a clear sparkling lemonade keeps the drink sharper and more refreshing. Whichever you choose, chill both the Au Vodka and the lemonade before you start. Warm spirits and warm mixer dilute the ice faster and leave you with a flat, watery drink before you finish it.
Scale the ratio for a jug or a larger serve
The 1:3 ratio scales easily. For four people, use 100ml of Au Vodka and 300ml of lemonade in a jug filled with ice. Add the lemonade last so you can taste and adjust before serving. If you are using a flavoured Au Vodka expression, start with the same 1:3 ratio and add a little more lemonade only if the flavour feels too concentrated for your taste.
Garnish and glassware that lift the drink
A simple garnish keeps the drink clean and fresh. A thin lemon wheel or a small wedge of watermelon works well with fruit-forward flavours, while a sprig of mint suits a sharper, clearer lemonade. Serve in a tall, chilled glass so the drink holds its carbonation. If you want a more premium presentation, a long-stemmed cocktail glass gives the serve a sharper look without changing the recipe.
Step-by-step: mixing Au Vodka and lemonade
- Chill the glass and the lemonade: Put your glass in the freezer for a few minutes and keep the lemonade in the fridge until you are ready to pour. A cold glass slows the ice melt and keeps the carbonation lively. Checkpoint: the glass should feel frosty to the touch, not wet with condensation before you start.
- Fill the glass with ice: Use fresh, large cubes and fill the glass to the top. A full glass of ice keeps the drink cold with less dilution than a half-filled glass. Common mistake: using a few small cubes, which melt quickly and water down the drink.
- Measure the Au Vodka first: Pour 25ml of Au Vodka into the glass. Measuring the spirit first means you can taste the base before the mixer goes in. Checkpoint: 25ml is a standard single measure, so adjust up or down from there rather than guessing.
- Add lemonade at a 1:3 ratio: Top with 75ml of chilled lemonade for every 25ml of vodka. Pour slowly down the side of the glass to preserve the bubbles. Common mistake: pouring fast and losing carbonation, which leaves the drink flat.
- Stir gently and taste: Give it one or two slow stirs to combine without knocking out the fizz. Taste and add a splash more lemonade if it feels too strong. Checkpoint: the drink should taste balanced, not sharp or syrupy.
- Garnish and serve straight away: Add a lemon wheel or a small watermelon wedge and serve immediately. The drink is at its best in the first few minutes while the ice is still firm. Next step: if you are making a second round, rebuild the glass with fresh ice rather than topping up the old one.
Products that work well in this serve
- Au Vodka Green Watermelon 70cl: Au Vodka Green Watermelon 70cl is a flavoured spirit drink at 35.2% ABV, made by combining five-times distilled vodka with fresh watermelon taste. The fresh watermelon note pairs naturally with lemonade, so you can keep the ratio simple and still get a fruit-forward, refreshing drink.
- Au Crystal Cocktail Glass: The Au Crystal Cocktail Glass is hand-blown with a 2mm gold rim, a signature square Au logo, and a long stem. It is not dishwasher safe. A long-stemmed glass keeps your hand away from the bowl and helps the drink stay colder for longer, which matters when you are serving over ice.
