Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Adjust simple syrup quantity to taste depending on your preferred sweetness.

  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka and lemon liqueur with extra lemon juice and lemonade.
  • Ensure gentle stirring after adding club soda to preserve the bubbles.
