Garnish & Rim
Method
Prepare glass
Chill and rim
Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice water while you prep. Run the lemon wedge around the rim of the chilled glass to moisten, then dip the rim lightly into the granulated sugar placed on a small plate to create an even sugared rim. Set the glass aside.
Mixing
Combine ingredients
Fill a cocktail shaker with the ice. Add 2 oz vodka, 1 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.75 oz simple syrup, and 0.5 oz Triple sec or Cointreau to the shaker.
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted (this chills and dilutes the cocktail to the right balance).
Double strain
If you used fresh lemon juice (recommended), fine-strain the cocktail through a Hawthorne and/or fine mesh strainer into the prepared sugared glass to remove any ice shards and pulp for a silky texture.
