Tips:
- Choose a Good Vodka: The quality of vodka you use will greatly impact the taste of your Vodka Blush. Look for a smooth, clean-tasting vodka that won't overpower the other ingredients.

- Sweeten to taste: Vodka Blush is traditionally made with simple syrup, but you can use any sweetener you like. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Garnish with Fresh Berries: A few fresh berries make a beautiful and tasty garnish for your Vodka Blush.
