Tips
For a sweeter Vodka Sour, add more simple syrup.
For a tarter Vodka Sour, add more lemon juice.
If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over low heat.
For a fun twist, try using flavored vodka, such as raspberry or citrus.
Vodka Sours are also delicious made with other types of citrus juice, such as grapefruit or orange juice.
Get creative with your garnishes! Try using a variety of fruits, herbs, or spices.
