Notes

Use any sweetener you like to taste. To keep the recipe low and sugar or calories, use monk fruit sweetener or liquid stevia. Other options include agave nectar, maple syrup, and simple syrup.
Use large ice cubes if possible. They will melt slower and not dilute your drink as quickly as small ice cubes.
Garnish with any fresh herbs and fruit you like.
If you don't have vodka on hand, you can make this cocktail with gin, silver tequila, or white rum.
