Instructions
-
Prep Your Martini Glass: Start by chilling your martini glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes. A cold glass will keep your martini perfectly chilled as you sip.

Sugar the Rim: Pour some sugar onto a small plate. Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of your martini glass, then dip the rim into the sugar to coat it beautifully. Set aside.
-
Mix Your Martini: In your cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, triple sec, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and a dash of grenadine. Fill the shaker with ice, sealing it tightly.
-
Shake It Up: Shake the mixture vigorously for about 20 seconds. The shaker should feel cold to the touch, signaling your drink is perfectly chilled.
-
Strain and Serve: Strain the liquid into your prepared martini glass. The vibrant pink color should make a stunning visual impact.

Garnish: Add a lemon twist or a small edible flower atop your drink for that extra touch of elegance.
