Tips & Warnings

  • Flavored vodka can be used to add new flavors to the '57 Chevy. Try experimenting to find your favorite one.
  • Soaking the garnish pineapple wedges in vodka overnight will add a new layer of sophistication to the '57 Chevy.
  • Do not let the '57 Chevy sit around for very long. As it approaches room temperature its flavor will decline rapidly.
  • Always drink in moderation and never drink and drive.
