You can also use my marshmallow infused vodka recipe , but it adds some white cloudy color and sugar to the drink – too much for some palates. Here’s how to do it right: Place your vodka and cream soda bottles in the fridge a few hours before making the drink. Keep extra bottles chilled nearby.

Don’t worry about using your most expensive bottle here. Bourbon can work too, especially if you like things a bit smoother and sweeter. If you want something a little lighter, try an Irish whiskey, but be aware that it might get overshadowed by the liqueurs.
