Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Measure the Vodka

    In a cocktail shaker, pour 2 ounces of Absolut Elyx Vodka.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes to ensure the drink is properly chilled.

  4. 4

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Glass

    Discard the ice water from the chilled cocktail glass.

  6. 6

    Strain the Cocktail

    Using a strainer, pour the shaken vodka mixture into the chilled cocktail glass.

  7. 7

    Add Tom Olives

    Gently drop 3 Tom Olives into the cocktail for flavor and presentation.

  8. 8

    Garnish

    Add a lemon twist by cutting a slice of lemon peel and twisting it over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass.
