Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Chill glass (optional)

    Place a rocks glass or coupe in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill.

  2. 2

    Add ingredients to shaker

    Measure 2 oz Absolut Vodka, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup with a jigger and pour them into a cocktail shaker.

  3. 3

    Add ice and shake

    Add 6 ice cubes to the shaker. Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and properly diluted.

  4. 4

    Prepare glass

    If you chilled the glass with ice water, discard the ice water. If you prefer a longer drink, add fresh ice to the glass now.

  5. 5

    Strain and top (two serving options)

    Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled rocks glass over fresh ice for a short drink, or strain into the glass without ice for a coupe. If making a longer version, pour the shaken cocktail into a glass over ice and top with ~2 oz club soda; gently stir once with a bar spoon to combine.

  6. 6

    Garnish and serve

    Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.

Tools

  1. 7

    Use the jigger to measure spirits and mixers accurately. Use the Hawthorne strainer when pouring from the shaker to keep ice out of the glass. Use the bar spoon to gently stir if topping with club soda.
