Gather 2 oz vodka, 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice, and 3/4 oz simple syrup.
For the purpose of chilling the components, fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Two ounces of vodka should be poured into the shaker.
Use the lime juice squeezer to add one ounce of fresh lime juice to the shaker.
The shaker should be filled with three quarters of an ounce of simple syrup.
The contents should be vigorously shaken in the shaker for about fifteen to twenty seconds.
First, strain the contents into a cocktail glass that has been cooled.
Optionally, garnish with a lime wheel or twist for a decorative touch. Enjoy your refreshing Vodka Gimlet!
