    Sit back, relax, and beat the heat by enjoying a refreshing SUMMER VODKA FIZZ  made with mint simple syrup, lemon, club soda, and vodka!

    This is one of my favorite easy summer drinks, along with my Mango Mint Mojito and my Blackberry Vanilla Mocktail.

    SUMMER VODKA DRINKS

    Have you ever tried to grow mint in your garden? Even the worst gardener in the world can grow mint.

    I love using mint as garnishes in drinks. Not only does it smell wonderful as you bring your ice cold beverage up to your lips, but it's darn pretty too.

    How to make mint simple syrup:

    This simple cocktail starts with mint simple syrup. You can make as much or as little as you'd like. Just measure out equal parts sugar and water and throw in as much mint as you can.

    Then, gently heat the mixture until the sugar dissolves and BAM! You now have mint simple syrup.

    At this point, all you have to do is store it, mint and all, in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks. You can use this divine minty syrup in tons of refreshing boozy and non-alcoholic beverages.

    How to make this Summer Vodka Drink:

    To make this wonderfully refreshing drink, all you do is combine the mint syrup with fresh lemon juice and vodka in a shaker and give it a good couple of shakes to mix it really well.

    Then, pour it over ice and top with club soda to add your fizz. Easy, right? Now go make one!

      I've been making these for years but w/ a low-cal twist- omit the simple syrup & muddle the mint! We grow our own organic mint & it's our family's go to drink in the summer! **Cheers**

      I love how simple it is to prepare this drink. I don't stock a lot of alcohol at home, but I do have a bottle of vodka, so I can make this easily. 🙂
