Chill a martini glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice and cold water while you prepare the cocktail.
Rub the rim of the chilled martini glass with the lemon wedge to lightly moisten it.
Dip the moistened rim of the glass into a shallow dish filled with granulated sugar to create a sugar-coated rim. Set the glass aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with one cup of ice cubes.
Add 2 oz of Smirnoff Vodka, 1 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 1 oz of simple syrup into the shaker.
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.
Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
Garnish with a small slice of lemon or a lemon twist, if desired, and serve immediately.
