Base & Cans

2 oz vodka (preferably clear, mid-proof)2 oz canned sparkling seltzer (lemon or lime flavored)4 oz canned hard seltzer (optional for stronger version)

Citrus & Sweeteners

1/2 oz Fresh lime juice1/4 oz simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)1 to taste fresh lemon twist or lime wheel (for garnish)

Ice & Rimming

1 cup ice (large cubes or crushed)1 tsp coarse salt or superfine sugar (optional rim)

Method

Prep

Rim (optional)

If you want a rim, rub a lime wedge around the glass lip and dip the rim into the coarse salt or superfine sugar. Set the glass aside to dry briefly.

Chill a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5 minutes or fill with ice to cool while you prepare the cocktail.

Mixing

Build the drink

Fill the chilled glass with large ice cubes (about 3–4 cubes) or crushed ice to the top. Pour 2 oz vodka over the ice.

Add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup into the glass. Stir gently with a bar spoon 6–8 times to combine and slightly chill the spirit with the citrus and syrup.

Top the drink with 2 oz sparkling lemon/lime seltzer and, if using a stronger, more branded High Noon–style finish, add 4 oz canned hard seltzer in a complementary flavor instead of (or in addition to) the plain seltzer. Gently fold once to integrate — avoid vigorous stirring to preserve bubbles.

Finish & Serve

Taste and adjust sweetness — add up to another 0.25 oz simple syrup if you prefer sweeter, or a few drops more lime juice if you prefer brighter acidity.

Garnish with a lime wheel or a lemon twist on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
