Which vinegar to use, and why

Cider vinegar can stand in for part of the citrus and gives the drink a longer finish than lemon alone. We use 19.53 Miles From The Tree Apple Cider Vinegar here. It is slow-fermented and aged in oak at our mill in Worcester, Massachusetts, which is why it seasons the dish rather than just souring it.

Make it ahead and keep it

Mix to order. For a batch, combine everything except the ice and anything fizzy, chill it, and finish each glass as you pour.
