Why We Love This Vodka Seltzer Cocktail Recipe
This Sunny D Vodka Seltzer recipe is a copycat version of the popular canned beverage you can buy in many places around the country. It combines nostalgic childhood flavors of tangy orange drink with a summertime vodka seltzer in one fruity, bubbly, and boozy drink that everyone (21+ of course) loves! Although you may be able to find SunnyD vodka seltzer at your local grocery store, making it at home is extremely easy with only 4 ingredients. Plus, it’s more affordable and offers the ability to provide quality control with the type of vodka and seltzer water you choose. You can also make your vodka seltzer more or less boozy based on the crowd you’re serving. This tangy orange vodka seltzer is a crowd favorite, and can be made in advance, adding the seltzer water at the end for bubbles. I like to serve it with a wedge of Cara Cara orange, but you can garnish it any way you like for a refreshing and fun summer drink!
Ingredients You Need
SunnyD Tangy Original Orange Drink – to “unleash the power of the sun” (a throwback for the 1980s and 1990s babies!) Orange-flavored seltzer water – mineral water or club soda Vodka – choose a quality brand for the best-tasting cocktail Lemon juice – for a nice pop of fresh citrus
Plus ice and whatever garnishes you want, like an orange wedge or slice, lemon slice, and/or mint leaves.

Juice – SunnyD now offers a wide variety of delicious flavors, like orange pineapple flavors, orange strawberry, and mango. Choose whichever you like to make the fruity, bubbly, boozy cocktail of your summertime dreams! Alternatively, make this drink with classic Tang orange drink for a different but still delicious nostalgic bold orange flavor. You can also use real fruit juice, or juice blends! Seltzer – Swap seltzer for club soda, which has minerals added and a slightly salty taste. Alcohol – Use orange vodka or other flavored vodkas you prefer. Without Alcohol – Simply omit the vodka for a nonalcoholic Sunny D mocktail. Servings – This recipe makes one vodka seltzer, but use our serving slider in the recipe below to adjust the recipe and make as many as you like!
