Lemon and mint are a classic pair. So its not really a surprise that they work here. Vodka is a neutral spirit, so it doesn't interfere with the flavors. You may want to alter the amount of simple syrup, depending on how sweet you like your cocktail.
2 oz vodka
1 1/2 oz lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup
a few mint leaves
1. Muddle the leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker or glass. Add ice, vodka, lemon and simple syrup. Shake if you want bits of mint in your cocktail (it's really pretty!).
If you don't, stir the drink well, and strain into a chilled martini glass.
PS. You can cheat and use premade lemonade for this--I like Newman's Own (no artifical flavorings or corn syrup)--just add in place of lemon and simple syrup.
