Rim the martini glass: Take a lemon wedge and run it along the rim of the martini glass. Dip the rim into a plate of superfine sugar, coating it evenly.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.

Add 2 ounces of vodka to the shaker.

Squeeze the juice of one whole lemon into the shaker.

Add ¾ ounce of simple syrup.

Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill the cocktail and properly mix the ingredients.

Strain the mixture into the rimmed martini glass.

Garnish with a lemon twist by twisting the peel over the drink to release the oils.
