Wild Berri and Lemon-Lime Soda

The Wild Berri and Lemon-Lime Soda (aka Absolut Wild Berri & Lemon-Lime Soda) is a two-ingredient cocktail made with Absolut Wild Berri and any preferred brand of Lemon-Lime Soda. Served in a Highball Glass with ice, it’s an easy to make drink that’s perfect to sip in the summer.

Absolut Wild Berri’s blackberry and raspberry aromas meet the refreshing, slightly sweet berry taste and matches perfectly with the crisp, citrusy Lemon-Lime Soda.

Since Absolut launched its first flavored vodka, Absolut Peppar, in 1986, bartenders everywhere have been crafting new drinks and putting exciting spins on classic cocktails. 

You could say the Absolut Wild Berri and Lemon-Lime Soda is a twist on a classic Vodka Soda, substituting Absolut Vodka for Absolut Wild Berri, and Soda Water for Lemon-Lime Soda.

Ricardo ‘Rico’ Dynan, Bartender and Absolut Global Brand Ambassador, created this drink for an episode of Absolut Drinks with Rico in the spring of 2025.

• Use your favorite Lemon-Lime Soda
  Got a favorite Lemon-Lime Soda? That’s the one to use for this cocktail! Remember, it’s all about your taste, so make it just the way you like it. 
• Use fresh berries and whatever berries are in season
  Since this cocktail recipe uses Absolut Wild Berri, Rico uses a couple of fresh Raspberries to garnish. But thanks to the versatility of Absolut Wild Berri, you can switch it up with any berry in season. So go ahead—use blackberries, strawberries, or whatever berry you can find.

• Substitute with your favorite Flavored Vodka
  The beauty about Lemon-Lime Soda is that it works with every vodka flavor. For this recipe, Rico uses Absolut Wild Berri but feel free to use your own favorite Absolut Flavored Vodka.
  
  Whether you choose Vanilla-Flavored Vodka, Lemon-Flavored Vodka, Pear-Flavored Vodka, or Peach-Flavored Vodka, it’s going to work great. Replace Lemon-Lime Soda with Lemon Juice and Soda Water
  For a more authentic citrus taste, swap out the Lemon-Lime Soda for Fresh Lemon Juice (30 ml) and a splash of Simple Syrup (15 ml)  then top up with Soda Water.

• For a Wild Berri and Lemon-Lime Soda, a highball glass filled with ice cubes is the perfect glass and perfect height.
  
• And when it comes to garnish why stop at one? A classic lime wheel is always a winner, but for that extra touch, add a few seasonal berries. 

Freshly picked blueberries, blackberries and wild strawberries straight from the forest. A sweet and tart taste of ripe wild strawberries with an underlying symphony of berry notes resulting in a rich combination.

Vodka. A Vodka Lime and Soda, anyone? The truth is just about every flavored vodka works incredibly well with lemon-lime soda. The recipe on this page uses Wild Berry flavored vodka but you could easily swap it for lime vodka, raspberry vodka, peach vodka and so on.

So, if you’re short on time but want to offer your guests a range of drinks, grab an assortment of flavored vodkas, mix each individual flavor with lemon-lime soda, and voilà – you’ve got a new drink!
