Ingredients

Ice
2 ounces gin*
1 ounce lemon juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup, recipe below
Club soda or sparkling water (I like Topo Chico)
1 lemon round or 1/2 orange round, for garnish
1 Luxardo cherry or other cocktail cherry, for garnish
¼ cup sugar (traditional) or honey (my favorite)
¼ cup water

Steps:

To make the simple syrup: Combine the sugar (or honey) and water in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, whisking occasionally, just until the sweetener has fully dissolved into the water. Remove the pot from the heat and set it aside to cool.
To make a cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the gin, lemon juice and simple syrup. Shake for 20 to 30 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is really cold.
Fill a Collins (tall) glass with ice. Strain the contents of the shaker into the glass. Fill the rest of the glass with club soda, and give it a gentle stir with a spoon.
Garnish with a lemon round or 1/2 of an orange round, plus a cocktail cherry. Enjoy.
