    Notes

    For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and use more club soda.
    You can make simple syrup by mixing equal parts sugar and water, then heating until dissolved. Store extra syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks.
    For a sweeter drink, add more simple syrup. For a stronger mint flavor, use more mint leaves when muddling.
