1
Prepare the Mint
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler to gently muddle the mint leaves to release their essential oils, being careful not to shred them.
2
Add Liquids
Pour the vodka, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker with the muddled mint. The simple syrup can be made by dissolving equal parts of sugar in water.
3
Shake It Up
Add ice cubes to the shaker, cover it tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine all ingredients and chill the mixture.
4
Strain into Glass
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
5
Top with Club Soda
Gently top the cocktail with club soda, pouring it slowly to maintain the fizz.
6
Garnish
Garnish the cocktail with a lemon wheel on the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint for added flavor and presentation.
7
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
