Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by rimming your cocktail glass with sugar. To do this, rub a lemon wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of sugar to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and lemon zest. Add the ice cubes to the shaker.

  3. 3

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture and combine the ingredients thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass. You can use a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother drink without any pulp from the lemon juice.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a lemon wedge on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.
