I love a lightly sweet but bold-flavored cocktail, and that’s exactly what this Lemon Pucker Martini recipe offers. It’s a perfect balance between tart and sweet and proves incredibly refreshing.

2 tablespoons sugar, for the rim
1 lemon wedge, for the rim
2 ounces vodka
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce limoncello
1/2 ounce orange-flavored liqueur
1 teaspoon agave
Lemon slice, for garnish

1. Spread sugar on a plate. Run lemon wedge around the rim of a cocktail glass and dip into sugar. Place glass in the freezer until ready to serve.

2. Add vodka, lemon juice, limoncello, orange-flavored liqueur and agave to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously.

3. Strain into chilled, sugar-rimmed cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon slice.
