Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 lemon wedge
- 4 ounces good vodka
- 3 ounces lemon juice (approx. 3 medium lemons)
- 1 1/2 ounces dark maple syrup (1 1/2 tablespoons)
- Ice
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Combine ¼ teaspoon cayenne and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar on a small flat plate. Rub lemon wedge around the rim of a martini glass and dip in sugar/cayenne mixture, moving the glass around so the entire rim is covered in sugar. Repeat with the second martini glass and set aside to dry.
- Combine 4 ounces vodka, 3 ounces lemon juice and 1 1/2 ounces dark maple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, place the lid on and shake until the cocktail shaker is very cold to the touch – about 20 seconds.
- Pour into a martini glass and garnish with a lemon slice.
