Ingredients:

  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1 oz triple sec
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice

Instructions:

  1. Fill your cocktail shaker to the brim with large, solid ice cubes. Note: Small crushed ice melts too fast and waters down the drink.
  2. Pour 1 oz vodka into the shaker.
  3. Add 1 oz triple sec.
  4. Squeeze in 1 oz fresh lime juice. Note: Avoid the bottled stuff if you can, it lacks the bright zing of fresh fruit.
  5. Seal the shaker tightly to prevent any leaks.
  6. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty and opaque.
  7. Prepare your chilled shot glass.
  8. Strain the mixture quickly into the glass, ensuring no ice is poured into the glass.
