Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Fill the martini glass with ice and club soda to chill it.
2

Spread 1/4 cup of sugar evenly on the plate's surface; this is to garnish the glass later.
3

Add 1 cup of ice to the shaker tin, then pour 2 oz. vodka, 1 oz. lemon juice and 1 oz. simple syrup, seal it and then shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until the tin starts to feel icy.
4

Empty the ice and club soda from the glass, then squeeze a lemon slice onto the lip of the glass, rotating the glass while squeezing.
5

Place the lip of the glass gently into the sugar, then rotate it to rim the glass with sugar.
6

Strain the tin's contents into the glass, leaving about a 1/4-inch space from the top to protect the sugar rim, then garnish with a lemon twist.
