Notes
Serve the drink right away for the best taste and fizz.
Fresh lemon juice works better than bottled juice.
One medium lemon yields about 1 oz of juice.
Store-bought simple syrup works fine.
You can make it at home by mixing equal parts sugar and hot water.
A high-quality vodka improves the taste.
Keep vodka in the freezer for an extra cold drink.
Club soda can be replaced with seltzer water.
Don't use tonic water as it changes the taste.
