Sarah's Smile

Light and immensely refreshing, Sarah's Smile is a great cocktail for parties because it can be made in large batches and chilled in advance. Tony Abou-Ganim quickly shakes each drink with ice and strains it into a glass. To save time, shake two servings at once. Slideshow: Vodka Cocktails
