Preparation
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and tools needed for the cocktail. Ensure you have a shaker, measuring jigger, and a tall glass for serving.
Make Simple Syrup
If you don't have simple syrup prepared, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it cool before use.
Mixing the Cocktail
Combine Ingredients in Shaker
In a cocktail shaker, add the Nikka Japanese Vodka, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Add the fresh mint leaves and gently muddle them to release their flavors.
Shake with Ice
Fill the shaker with ice cubes, secure the lid tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Strain into Glass
Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the cocktail to fill the glass, giving it a light stir to incorporate the ingredients.
Garnish
Garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of fresh mint to enhance the presentation and aroma.
