3. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to ensure all the ingredients are well combined and chilled.
4. Strain the mixture into the prepared Collins glass, over the ice cubes.
5. Top off the glass with club soda, leaving a little space at the top for garnishes.
6. Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the ingredients together.
7. Garnish the Vodka Collins with a lemon slice and a maraschino cherry. You can place them on a cocktail pick or simply drop them into the glass.

Note: You can adjust the sweetness and tartness of the drink by adding more or less simple syrup and lemon juice, according to your taste preferences.
