How to Make Citrus Masquerade

  1. Rim a chilled martini glass with granulated sugar: Pour a small amount of sugar onto a small plate. Moisten the rim of the martini glass with a lemon wedge and gently press the rim into the sugar to coat.
  2. Muddle the ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle 3 raisins, 1 lemon slice, and 1 teaspoon of sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the lemon is slightly juiced.
  3. Combine liquids and ice: Add 2 ounces of vodka, 1 ounce of orange liqueur, and ice to the shaker.
  4. Shake vigorously: Secure the lid and shake well for 15-20 seconds until the shaker is very cold.
  5. Strain and garnish: Strain the cocktail into the prepared martini glass. Garnish with 3 raisins and a lemon twist.
