Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 2 ounces Vodka
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the lime thoroughly and pat it dry.
Cut the lime into 8 wedges and place them in the bottom of a sturdy glass.
Add the granulated sugar on top of the lime wedges.
Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently press the limes to release their juice and mix it with the sugar. Avoid over-muddling, as it can make the drink bitter.
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it is almost full.
Pour the vodka over the ice.
Stir the drink well with a spoon to combine the ingredients.
Serve immediately with a straw or garnish with a lime wedge if desired.
