Bartender’s tips
- For a citrusy twist, you can swap the standard vodka for vodka citron if you have it on hand.
- Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice rather than bottled juice to keep the sour profile crisp and bright.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, adjust the simple syrup down or use a dry, sparkling lemonade to top it off.
