What is Sledgehammer?
The Sledgehammer is a bold, no-nonsense cocktail that highlights vodka’s strength with a burst of citrus brightness. Stripped down to its essentials, it puts vodka and lime juice front and center. Some versions add a light mixer or fruit juice to elongate it, but at its core, it’s clean, punchy, and direct.
It’s a drink for those moments when you want something simple yet impactful-no frills, no distractions, just spirit and tartness. Whether you're winding down or gearing up, this gives clarity in a glass.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
