Instructions

This drink was something I whipped up while arranging parties for friends. During a business arrangement we where at a bar once with the heads of some of our most important suppliers, HP, IBM, Epson, and NCR. we whre celebrating the release of a new POS (POS= Point of sales) software. I had the bar tender make my drink for me. With all the others there drinking Beer, the drink naturally brought a lot of attention. Someone suggested that I called it Silent Touch due to the lack of Alcohol taste in the drink, and the Punch it gives if you drink too much. Serve with ice cubes, and in a long drink glass.

About Silent Touch

The Silent Touch is a refreshing cocktail that seamlessly blends the crisp and clean profile of Kalinka Vodka with the zesty tang of Schweppes Bitter Lemon Soda. The addition of freshly squeezed lime juice adds an extra layer of citrus brightness, enhancing the drink's invigorating qualities. Topped with a splash of lemon-lime soda, this cocktail is both effervescent and smooth, offering a harmonious balance of bitter and sweet notes that makes it perfect for any occasion, especially during warmer months.

The origin of the Silent Touch is somewhat mysterious, much like its name, with no firm documentation on its inception. However, it fits well within the realm of vodka-based cocktails that gained popularity in the late 20th century as vodka became a staple in bars worldwide. Its components suggest an influence from the classic vodka and tonic, but with a modern twist that caters to those who appreciate a slightly more complex citrus profile. The cocktail's blend of familiar yet distinct flavors has earned it a quiet but enduring place in the cocktail repertoire of those who enjoy a sophisticated yet uncomplicated drink.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Any Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
