1
Prepare the Glass
Take a chilled martini glass and rim the edge with granulated sugar. To do this, run a lemon wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of sugar, ensuring an even coating.
2
Mix the Drink
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of vodka, 1 oz of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
3
Shake Well
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass. Ensure that no ice cubes make it into the glass.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lemon twist by twisting a piece of lemon peel over the drink to release the oils, then place it in the glass.
