1
Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice water; set aside to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Measure 2 oz Belvedere Vodka and pour into a mixing glass or cocktail shaker.

3
Add 0.5 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice to the vodka (strain seeds and pulp).
4
Add 0.25 oz simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water) to the mixing glass to balance the acidity.
5
Dilution and chilling
Fill the mixing glass or shaker with plenty of ice (about 1 cup). Stir gently for 20–30 seconds until the exterior of the mixing glass feels cold and slightly frosted to achieve proper dilution and chill.

6
Discard the ice water from the chilled serving glass and dry briefly.
7
Double-strain the mixed cocktail (using a Hawthorne or julep strainer and a fine mesh strainer if available) into the chilled coupe or martini glass to ensure a silky texture.

8
Express the oils of a lemon twist over the surface of the cocktail by holding the twist skin-side down above the drink and giving it a quick pinched bend. Run the twist around the rim and drop it into the glass as garnish.
