INGREDIENTS

    • 30ml vodka
    • 60ml Limoncello
    • 15ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
    • Sugar (for rimming the glass)
    • Lemon slice (for garnish)

METHOD

  1. Chill a martini or coupe glass. Run a lemon wedge around the rim and dip it into sugar to coat lightly.
  2. Add the vodka, limoncello, and lemon juice to a shaker filled with ice.
  3. Shake hard until well chilled.
  4. Double strain into the prepared glass.
  5. Garnish with a lemon slice.

NOTES

If you prefer it less sweet, reduce the limoncello to 45 ml.

For extra brightness, add a fine strip of lemon zest over the drink.

A superfine sugar rim gives a cleaner texture than granulated sugar.
