Ingredients

  • 2 ounces vodka (Belvedere or Grey Goose)
  • 1 ounce simple syrup
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 ounces club soda (Fevertree)
  • Lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

  • Add 2 ounces vodka (Belvedere or Grey Goose), 1 ounce simple syrup, and 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice to a tall Collins glass.
    A hand pours liquid from a jigger into a tall glass containing lemon juice, with a halved lemon, a glass of water, and a water jar nearby.
  • Fill the glass with ice and top with 4 ounces club soda (Fevertree).
    A hand pours liquid from a small glass into a tall glass filled with ice, next to a jar, a cut lemon, and a jigger on a white surface.
  • Stir gently, garnish with a lemon slice, and serve.
    A glass of Vodka Collins with ice and a lemon slice garnish sits on a table, surrounded by lemon halves, a cocktail jigger, and glass jars.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice, not bottled, for the cleanest flavor. To make ahead, stir the vodka, simple syrup, and lemon juice together and refrigerate the base, then add ice and soda water just before serving so it keeps its fizz.
  • Simple syrup keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for about a month.
