Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Prepare a light layer of sugar on a plate and set aside. Chill your vodka and martini glasses.
When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and run a slice of lemon around the glass rims to wet. Dip the glasses into the sugar. Shake off excess.
Add limoncello, vodka, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, and ice to a cocktail shaker.
Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until the shaker becomes frosty and icy cold.
Holding the shaker over the glass, strain to catch any ice as you pour the drink into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
Garnish with a twist or slice of lemon, and serve!

Ice and Garnish. To make it cold and pretty, grab some ice, ¼ cup of sugar for glass rim, and lemon slices for garnish. (optional)

Equipment List. These items are optional but very helpful to have on hand; a Cocktail Shaker, a Lemon Zester, and a Citrus Zester Grater. (affiliiate links)
