Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 15-20 seconds.
Double strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice.
Top with club soda and stir gently.
Garnish with fresh raspberries and a lemon wheel.
For Simple Syrup:

Notes
Fresh raspberries make a big difference in taste compared to frozen ones.The drink can be made non-alcoholic by skipping the vodka and adding more club soda.Store simple syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.Double straining removes raspberry seeds for a smoother texture.For extra flavor, try adding a few mint leaves during muddling.
