Add a splash of juice like cranberry juice or even a splash of grenadine for a little sweetness.
Add some sugar to the rim of the glass for fun.
Make it a sparkling cocktail with a splash of club soda or sparkling wine.
While this is a vodka cocktail recipe, you could also use gin if preferred which would give it a hint of earthy flavor.
