1
Prepare glass (optional)
If you prefer a rim, lightly wet the rim of a chilled coupe or martini glass with a lime wedge, then dip the rim into coarse sugar or salt laid on a small plate. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix
Fill a cocktail shaker about two-thirds full with ice. Add 2 oz vodka, 0.75 oz triple sec, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.75 oz watermelon syrup to the shaker.
3
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds (until the shaker is cold to the touch and well chilled). This both chills and slightly dilutes the drink for balance.
4
Double-strain & serve
Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared chilled coupe or martini glass to remove ice chips. Alternatively, strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass for a longer serve.

5
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and a small watermelon wedge or ball on a cocktail pick. Serve immediately.
