Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Fill a highball or Collins glass with ice cubes until about 3/4 full.

  2. 2

    Build the drink

    Into the iced glass, pour 2 oz vodka, then add 4 oz fresh lemonade. Stir gently with a bar spoon for about 10 seconds to combine and chill.

  3. 3

    Top and finish

    Top the mixture with 2 oz soda water to add effervescence. Give a very gentle one-turn stir to integrate the soda without flattening it.

  4. 4

    Garnish and serve

    Float or clip a lemon wheel on the rim of the glass (or drop it in). Serve with a straw if desired.
