What's the difference between a cocktail and a drink? Hell, we don't know! As near as can be said, a drink is alcohol, a mixer, and (or not) ice. A cocktail is something carefully constructed using different ingredients and with finesse. Sometimes, but not always, cocktails are served in stemware, fancy glasses. You be the judge.
1 1/2 ounce vodka
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 ounce simple syrup
Ice cubes
Lime wheel or lime zest for garnish, if desired
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka, lime and simple syrup. Shake rapidly for about 20 seconds - chill it good. Strain into a cocktail or old-fashioned glass. Add garnish.
