- Shake lemon vodka, lemon juice and simple syrup with ice.
- Strain into the prepared shot glass.
- Set out a sugared lemon slice.
- Drink the shot and suck on the lemon slice.

Pro tip: Put the sugar on a lemon slice and suck on it after the shot - this way the sweet sugar combines with the sour fruit.
