The “Julie” drink

We met a couple at the Gorge (Joni Jam) campground. They were Julie and Brandi- both easy names for me to remember. Brandi gave me a drink to try. It was amazing! She called it “The Julie” because it’s Julie’s favorite drink 🤷🏼‍♀️ Sprite, vanilla vodka, key lime Possible substitutions: whip cream vodka, OJ instead of sprite
