1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by chilling a cocktail glass or a highball glass by filling it with ice water and setting it aside.
2
Muddle the Mint
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
3
Mix the Ingredients
Add the vodka and fresh lemon juice to the shaker with the muddled mint. Fill the shaker with ice cubes, covering the liquid. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Remove the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass, making sure to leave the mint leaves behind in the shaker.
5
Top with Club Soda
Add the club soda to the cocktail in the glass, gently stirring to combine without disturbing the mint.
6
Garnish
Garnish with a lemon wheel on the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint for a refreshing presentation.
7
Enjoy
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
