A delightful twist on the classic Brazilian cocktail, this recipe combines fresh lime, sugar, and vodka for a refreshing drink.
Wash the fresh lime thoroughly and cut it into quarters.
Rolling the lime on the counter before cutting can help release more juice.
Place the lime quarters in a glass and sprinkle the granulated sugar over them.
Adjust the sugar amount to suit your sweetness preference.
Use a muddler to crush the lime and sugar together, extracting the lime juice and mixing it with the sugar.
Press firmly but gently to avoid over-muddling the lime peel, which can add bitterness.
Pour the premium vodka over the lime and sugar mixture.
Chill the vodka beforehand for an extra refreshing drink.
Add the crystal-clear ice cubes to the glass and stir well to combine.
Use a long spoon to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Refreshing Lime Vodka Smash.
Garnish with a lime wheel or mint sprig for a decorative touch.
