Ingredients

• 2 whole Meyer lemons
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 4 ounces Vodka
• 12 ounces Sparkling water
• 1 cup Ice cubes
• 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons Sugar (optional, for glass rim)

Directions

Step 1

Roll the Meyer lemons on a countertop to loosen the juice, then cut them in half and juice them into a small bowl. You should get approximately 3 ounces of juice. Set aside.

Step 2

If desired, rim the glasses with sugar. To do this, pour 2 tablespoons of sugar onto a small plate. Moisten the rim of each glass with a bit of lemon juice, then dip the rims into the sugar to coat. Set the glasses aside.

Step 3

In a small pitcher or cocktail shaker, combine the Meyer lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir or shake well until the sugar has dissolved completely.

Step 4

Add the vodka to the lemon-sugar mixture and mix gently.

Step 5

Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Divide the lemon-vodka mixture evenly between the glasses, pouring it over the ice.

Step 6

Top each glass with 6 ounces of sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.

Step 7

Garnish each cocktail with a fresh mint leaf for a burst of aroma and a pop of color.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Sparkling Meyer Lemon Cocktail!
