Method

Prepare Glass

1

Rim the glass

Pour the teaspoon of sugar onto a small plate. Rub the rim of a chilled coupe or martini glass with a cut lemon half, then dip the rim lightly into the sugar to coat. Set the glass aside to dry while you make the cocktail.

Mix Cocktail

2

Measure

Add 2 oz Rocktown Vodka, 0.75 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice, and 0.75 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.

3

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with about 6 ice cubes. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted. This chills and dilutes the drink to the proper balance.

4

Double strain and serve

Quickly fine-strain the cocktail into the prepared chilled, sugar-rimmed coupe or martini glass to remove small ice shards and pulp from the lemon juice.

Garnish

5

Express a lemon peel over the drink to release oils, then either drop a lemon twist into the glass or hang a lemon wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.
