Life comes at you fast, and there's always an occasion to celebrate.

For instance, the GRAMMYs®—only the biggest star-studded music awards show of the year. Whether you're hosting a full-blown viewing party at your place, hitting the town or laying low, the evening is sure to include cocktails. That's why you're picky about what you drink. Enter your new favorite vodka cocktail: The Absolut Limelight.

It's packed with flavor, but it's also light and refreshing. A signature GRAMMY® week cocktail is simple enough to whip up at home or order out at the bar.

"The main ingredient is Absolut Lime, which has no sugar added, and also splits the mixer between ginger ale and club soda," noted the cocktail's inventor, Pernod Ricard National Mixologist Kevin Denton.

It's also pretty enough to post to social media. " Just add a skewer or stirrer with a squiggly, accordion cucumber slice," noted the pro. "It looks great and keeps the cucumber out of the cocktail, so you get that fresh aroma with every sip."

Here's how you make it!

The Absolut Limelight

Glass: Highball
Method: Build

2 parts Absolut Lime
