Method

Cocktail

Chill glass

Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for at least 5 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure the drink is served well chilled.

Add Capitol Vodka (2 oz), homemade orangello (1 oz), fresh organic lemon juice (0.5 oz) and simple syrup (0.5 oz) to a cocktail shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and cap it. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted. This both chills and dilutes the cocktail to balance flavors.

Discard ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using both a shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice chips and any pulp from the lemon juice.

Garnish

Express the oils of an orange peel over the surface of the drink by holding the peel skin-side down about 3–4 inches above the glass and giving it a firm twist, then either drop a thin twist into the drink or place a fresh orange wheel on the rim.

Serve immediately, up (no ice in the glass).
