Chill the Glass:

Mix the Ingredients:

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to cool the liquid ingredients rapidly.

Pour the 1 1/2 ounces of vodka, 1 ounce of limoncello, 3/4 ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1/2 ounce of simple syrup into the shaker.

Shake:

Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This not only chills the mixture but also dilutes it slightly with the melting ice, balancing the flavors.

Prepare the Glass:

Empty the martini glass that has been chilling and strain the mixture into it. A fine mesh strainer can be used to ensure no ice shards are in your drink.

Garnish and Serve:

Garnish with a lemon twist or a lemon wheel on the rim of the glass.

Serve immediately and enjoy your crisp and zesty Limoncello Martini.
