Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your cocktail will taste. This is especially important for the citrus fruits, as they will provide the most flavor.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients will help to create a more refreshing cocktail. You can chill your ingredients by placing them in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes before making the cocktail.
  • Use a good quality vodka: The vodka is the base of this cocktail, so it's important to use a good quality vodka. Look for a vodka that is smooth and has a clean flavor.
  • Don't overshake the cocktail: Overshaking the cocktail will dilute it and make it watery. Shake the cocktail just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Garnish the cocktail with a lemon twist: A lemon twist will add a touch of freshness and flavor to the cocktail.
