Grey Goose Recipe

1. Chill glass (optional)

Place a coupe or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it briefly with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

2. Fill a cocktail shaker with the measured ice (about 1 cup).

3. Pour 2 oz Grey Goose vodka, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 0.25 oz orange liqueur (if using) into the shaker.

4. Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.

5. If preparing a short cocktail: discard ice from the chilled glass (if used) and double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or a rocks glass over one large ice cube or neat as preferred.

6. If preparing a long/refreshing style: fill a highball glass with fresh ice, strain the shaken drink into the glass, then top with 1.5 oz soda water and gently stir once or twice to combine.

7. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
