Svedka Recipe

Chill glass

Place a coupe or chilled rocks glass in the freezer or fill with ice water while preparing the cocktail to chill it.

Combine ingredients

Add Svedka vodka, fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, orange liqueur, simple syrup, and orange bitters into a cocktail shaker.

Add ice

Fill the shaker with ice — enough to come about two-thirds of the way up the shaker (about 1 cup).

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is very cold and you see condensation form on the outside.

Prepare glass

Remove the chilled glass from the freezer or discard the ice water and dry the glass.

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or over fresh ice in a rocks glass using a cocktail strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and pulp.

Garnish and serve

Thread a lime wheel on the rim or float it in the glass and express a lemon twist over the surface (pinch to release oils), then drop the twist in. Serve immediately.

Combine equal parts granulated sugar and water (for example, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Remove from heat and cool completely. Store extra syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
