Vodka and Bitter Lemon

Bright and citrus-forward, this is a lively mix of tart lemon and a hint of sugar that softens vodka's clean profile while tonic water adds a dry, bitter effervescence. Served tall over ice with a pale, slightly cloudy appearance, it's an easy, refreshing long drink worth ordering on a warm afternoon or making for casual gatherings.
