Ingredients

1 1/2 ounces vodka

1/2 ounce triple sec

1 teaspoon superfine sugar

3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice

Superfine sugar for dipping

Twisted peel of lemon

Preparation

  1. The vodka, triple sec, sugar and lemon juice go into an ice filled shaker.
  2. Shake well! Supposedly the cocktail is to be shaken 40 times to make sure the sugar is well blended.
  3. Pour strained liquor into sugar-rimmed martini glass and garnish with a twisted peel of lemon (To create sugar rimmed glass, take a lemon wedge and rub the drinking surface so it is barely moist. Dip the edge of the glass into the sugar).
