To order this weekend: vodka gimlet

It happens every weekend. You walk up to the bar and wonder what to order. You are left speechless for a moment each time, struggling to decide between what you really want to drink, what your "skinniest" options are, and how sober you are (I usually only order beer when I'm trying not to get too wasted... or when I'm already too wasted). Ideally, a cute guy is asking you what you want to drink...

Anyway, you know the scenario. This weekend, don't hesitate. Ask for a "vodka gimlet". You'll sound sophisticated actually knowing the proper drink for a cocktail, and you won't slurp up too many calories.

VODKA GIMLET 
1 1/2 oz. vodka 
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice 
1 tsp. sugar 


Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
