Ingredients

  • 1 oz chilled vodka
  • ½ oz lemon juice
  • ½ oz Cointreau or triple sec

Instructions

  • Dip shot glass rims in lemon juice or honey then into sugar. Add to freezer.
  • Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with lots of ice and shake well for 15-20 seconds.
  • Strain into chilled shot glasses and garnish with a lemon wedge.

Notes

Feel free to use flavored vodka like citrus or raspberry in place of regular vodka.
Swap the Cointreau with simple syrup if you don't have any! That's equal parts sugar and water heated until dissolved then chilled.
