Method

Prep

1

Chill glass

Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for at least 5 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.

2

Optional sugar rim

If you want a sugared rim, rub a lemon wedge around the glass rim, then dip the rim into a small plate of lemon sugar or regular sugar to coat. Set aside.

Mixing

3

Add 2 oz Absolut Citron vodka, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 0.5 oz triple sec into a cocktail shaker.

4

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup), secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted.

5

Discard ice or water from the chilled glass if used to chill. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to catch ice shards and pulp.

Finish & Serve

6

Express the oils of a lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down over the glass and giving it a quick squeeze, then run the twist around the rim and drop it into the cocktail (or float a lemon wheel on top).

7

Serve immediately. Optional: garnish with extra lemon sugar on the rim or a thin lemon wheel for presentation.
