Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by chilling a highball glass in the freezer for a few minutes to ensure your cocktail stays cold.

  2. 2

    Mix Base Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, triple sec, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  3. 3

    Strain and Serve

    Remove the glass from the freezer. Strain the mixture from the shaker into the chilled glass and top with club soda.

Garnishing

  1. 4

    Add Garnish

    Garnish the cocktail with a slice of lemon and a few fresh mint leaves. You can gently slap the mint leaves between your palms to release their aroma before adding them to the drink.
