The build centers on 3/4 oz vodka, 1/2 oz mandarin liqueur, 1/4 oz lime juice, and 1/4 oz simple syrup. In the glass, mandarin notes make this especially juicy and fragrant, with lime sharpening the outline so it drinks brisk instead of syrupy.
It comes together in 3 minutes and is served in a chilled shot glass. Serve it ice-cold and pour promptly so the citrus edge stays sharp instead of flattening out.
