Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz vodka

  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon slice for garnish
  • Maraschino cherry optional, for garnish

Instructions

Notes

  • Opt for fresh lemon juice for a more flavorful taste.

  • You can use simple syrup instead. 
  • Pick a good vodka because it affects the flavor. 
  • Keep your club soda cold so the drink stays fizzy.
