Estilo Americano: The Basic Chilton

by

in

The Chilton is a simple vodka cocktail thought to be invented in Lubbock, Texas. There are a variety of recipes, many of which are transparent marketing ploys for overpriced (and nasty tasting) flavored vodkas. Don’t fall for them; stick to basics. Here’s my version: 

  • A little ice
  • plain-old-plain UNFLAVORED vodka
  • juice half a lemon (there’s your flavor, right there)
  • seltzer topper, and you’re good to go.
