When you're looking for a cool, light flavor with a splash of zip, a cocktail made with citrus vodkas can fit the bill.
Lemon is good any time of the year, but it seems especially refreshing on warm summer days, and these cocktails are quick, easy, and have only a few ingredients, so you don't work up a sweat putting them together. Add any of these to a backyard bar-b-que or just kick back in your hammock and enjoy the breeze! Citrus Collins
