1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your martini glass with sugar. To do this, take the lemon wedge and moisten the rim of the glass, then dip it into a plate of sugar to coat the rim evenly.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of vodka, 1 oz of fresh lemon juice, 1 oz of triple sec, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Add ice cubes to the shaker.
3
Shake Well
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared martini glass. Ensure you have a nice flow without any ice shards.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lemon wedge on the rim of the glass for an extra pop of flavor and presentation.
