Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Consider using a rich simple syrup (2 parts sugar to 1 part water) instead of the customary (1:1) for a more opulent mouthfeel that matches the smoothness of the vodka, adjusting the quantity as necessary.
Serving Tip 1
To enhance the perfumed aspect, lightly ‘flame’ the lemon twist garnish over the completed drink, caramelising the oils to create a smoky citrus essence.
