HELP!! why is my absolut vodka cocktail always taste like fark?

it always taste way TOOOooooooo strong compare to the one i always had in pubs or clubs.





i usually make my own screwdriver, sometimes with fresh oranges with sugar or traffic-jam with my own strawberry jam. even my own vodka dry taste too strong and like fark.





WHY!?!?!?!?!|||How did you get your cocktail to taste like a news satire web page? That sound interesting. Or does it taste like a South American Rebel Military group? I'm confused now.





You are mixing to much alcohol in. Up the ratio of mixer and lower the ratio of alcohol. Say something like this; 2 parts OJ to 1 part vodka.





Edit:


If you aren't over doing the Vodka try using store bought OJ or mixers.|||you're pouring in too much. duh.|||The bars will give you exactly one ounce in your drink. I suspect you are putting in way more than that. Ease up on the vodka.|||for a shorty:





Fill glass to top with ice. Put in ONE SHOT of VODKA. Fill rest of glass with cranberry or juice or whatever you like to drink it with.





For a tall glass, double it up.|||Too much vodka. most of the time it is 1 oz , sometimes 1 1/2. get yourself a measuring cup for drink.|||Put some water or some club soda|||You might need to experiment with the amount of vodka you like in your drink. Try one oz first then add a little as you go until its just right. Also, Try changing vodka brands. Absolut is a cheap brand and you could try a more expensive, smoother vodka. That might help.|||too much vodka sweety.


make sure you can handle it.


ease up on the drinking, ok?
