Hopping over to Difford’s Guide, I stumbled across their Pink Gin Fizz recipe, which used soda water rather than the posh pink fizz that I had. So I did what I usually do, namely mixing my own concoction by taking inspiration from someone else. Go West!” is the cry. After all, the West is where the good life is generally lived. But the Vodka is always better in the east which is why the Schweppes Russchian is a mix that one can generally find in the East (of Europe mostly). Like tonic water is made for the Gin lovers, it can be said, that the Schweppes Russchian is made for the Vodka lovers. The name itself should be enough to give everybody an idea of what it is to be mixed with. Fruity, aromatic, and pale pink in color – this drink won't be mistaken for any other. Some people like the taste of lemon, some people like the flavor of orange, but this drink is for those who like the tanginess of bitter peaches, because that is exactly what the drink tastes like. Add the Schweppes Russchian to a shot of Vodka with a slice of lemon and it becomes a really cool party drink.
