- 1 1/2 ounces vodka
- 1/2 ounce Triple Sec
- 1 teaspoon superfine sugar
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Superfine sugar for dipping
- Twisted peel of lemon
Mix the vodka, Triple Sec, sugar, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice; shake well (supposedly the cocktail is to be shaken 40 times to make sure the sugar is well blended). Pour strained liquor into sugar-rimmed martini glass and garnish with a twisted peel of lemon.
NOTE: To create a sugar-rimmed glass, take a lemon wedge and rub the drinking surface of the glass so it is barely moist. Dip the edge of the glass into sugar.
Makes 1 serving.
