Begin by rimming the glass with a bit of salt—same as you would with a margarita. Swipe a lemon wedge around the rim and then roll the edge in coarse salt. Then fill the glass high with ice.
Step 2: Add Vodka and Lemon
Next, add two ounces of vodka into the glass. Choose a good vodka here. With only a few ingredients in the Chilton, the quality of the vodka will stand out.
Then add the juice of two lemons. You absolutely want to use fresh lemon juice here. It gives this easy mixed drink that bright, refreshing flavor that you’re searching for after a long day in the hot sun. Finally, top off the glass with club soda.
Step 3: Stir, Garnish and Serve
With all your ingredients in the glass, grab a cocktail spoon, and give your Chilton a stir to combine. Garnish with a lemon slice and serve.
Unlike many fruity drinks, the Chilton isn’t overly sweet. It’s tart, cool and bracing—a must for a hot day in the Texas heat or wherever you call home.
