Ingredients
- 2 ounces Vodka
- 1 ounce Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.5 ounce Simple syrup
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for rimming the glass)
- 1 piece Lemon wedge (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing the glass. Pour the granulated sugar onto a small plate. Run a lemon wedge around the rim of a chilled martini glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the sugar to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.
Add the vodka, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds to chill the ingredients thoroughly.
Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
