These tangy, slightly sweet drinks can be made as cocktails, served in high ball or martini glasses, or potent shots. I will warn you: these are not for the faint of heart and it is imperative that you hand your car keys to someone far more responsible before you start to drink them. Over the years, I found that I enjoy these drinks more when I add a splash of simple syrup.
Simple syrup:
Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to boil, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
The cocktail:
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add lime juice, vodka, triple sec, and 3/4 oz. simple syrup. Shake well, about 15 seconds, to chill the mixture. Strain into a highball or martini glass for a single drink or, if you prefer, into 4 separate shot glasses. Garnish with a wedge of lime and serve cold.

Oh. My. Word. These are really good. And go especially well with nika’s Red Curry Coconut Noodles. Curry and adult beverages – the perfect meal.
Loved this drink – fresh lime makes it so refreshing and it only takes a couple before you are ready to dance the night away!

Thanks, everyone. Yes, these pretty little drinks are far more lethal than they let on. However, I have found that they make a nice little sipping drink (a far cry from my college days of shooting them one after another).
