Notes
To chill your martini glass, place it in the freezer for 30 - 45 minutes before serving. This helps the drink stay super cold while you're drinking it. If you don't time for this, you can also fill the glass with ice and water while you're shaking up the cocktail. This won't keep the drink as cold, but it's a great alternative.
Don't substitute unflavored vodka for citrus-flavored vodka. The drink will become too tart.
To make your own simple syrup, place a one to one ratio of granulated sugar and water in a saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, just until all the sugar has dissolved. Cool the simple syrup before using it in the cocktail recipe.
