Begin by pitting the cherries to remove the seeds.
In a highball glass, gently muddle the pitted cherries to release their juices.
Pour in the vodka and lemon juice over the muddled cherries.
Add ice cubes to the glass until it is two-thirds full.
Top the glass with a fill of club soda and gently stir the mixture to combine the flavors.
Finish by garnishing with a slice of lemon. Serve immediately.
