A refreshing and bubbly lemon cocktail combining vodka, fresh lemon juice, and lemon liqueur, topped with fizzy club soda. Perfectly balanced with a touch of simple syrup and garnished with a lemon twist for a bright, citrusy finish.


Ingredients

Scale

Liquids

  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup
  • 1/2 ounce lemon liqueur
  • 3 ounces club soda

Garnish

  • 1 lemon twist (for garnish)
  • Ice cubes


Instructions

  1. Chill the shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to chill it thoroughly, ensuring your cocktail will be served cold.
  2. Add vodka: Pour 2 ounces of vodka into the chilled shaker as the base spirit of your cocktail.
  3. Add lemon juice: Pour in 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice to add bright citrus flavor and freshness.
  4. Add simple syrup: Add 1/2 ounce of simple syrup to balance the tartness of the lemon with sweetness.
  5. Add lemon liqueur: Pour in 1/2 ounce of lemon liqueur to deepen the lemon flavor profile with a hint of sweetness and complexity.
  6. Seal the shaker: Place the lid securely on the shaker to prepare for mixing.
  7. Shake the cocktail: Shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds to mix and chill all ingredients thoroughly.
  8. Strain into glass: Strain the chilled mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice cubes to keep the drink cool.
  9. Top with club soda: Slowly pour 3 ounces of club soda onto the cocktail to add fizzy bubbles and lighten the drink.
  10. Gently stir: Stir the cocktail gently to combine the club soda with the other ingredients without losing carbonation.
  11. Prepare garnish: Use a knife or vegetable peeler to cut a thin twist of lemon peel for a fresh aromatic garnish.
  12. Add lemon twist: Twist the lemon peel over the glass to release its essential oils, then drop it into the drink to garnish.
  13. Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the bubbly and refreshing lemon cocktail at its best.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
  • For a stronger lemon aroma, rim the glass with lemon zest before pouring the cocktail.
  • Chill your glass beforehand for an extra cold drink experience.
  • Use a good quality vodka to enhance the cocktail’s smoothness.
