Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • 2 oz soda water
  • Ice
  • 1 lemon wheel for garnish

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Highball glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Fine strainer
  • Ice

Method
 

  1. Fill a serving glass with fresh ice and set it aside.
  2. Add vodka, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  3. Shake well for about 10–15 seconds until the mixture is properly chilled.
  4. Strain the mixture into the prepared ice-filled glass.
  5. Top with soda water and stir gently once or twice.
  6. Add a lemon wheel and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice: It gives the drink a cleaner, brighter citrus flavor.
Adjust the sweetness: Start with ½ oz simple syrup and add a little more when needed.
Do not skip the ice: Proper chilling helps bring the flavors together.
Do not over-stir the soda: A gentle stir is enough to combine the drink without quickly losing carbonation.

Easy Variations

More citrus: Add a little extra lemon juice.
Less sweet: Reduce the simple syrup.
More refreshing: Increase the soda water slightly.
Orange twist: Replace the lemon garnish with an orange peel for a softer citrus aroma.

Serving Suggestion

Serve this vodka cocktail immediately while it is cold and fizzy. A chilled glass and fresh citrus garnish make a simple homemade cocktail feel much more polished without adding extra preparation.
