Anchors Aweigh Instructions
Anchor's Aweigh is a refreshing and tangy cocktail that will transport you to a tropical paradise. This cocktail is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day or enjoying with friends at a beach party.
To make an Anchor's Aweigh cocktail, start by preparing a tall glass filled with ice. Next, add a generous amount of vodka, about 2 ounces. Then, squeeze the juice of one fresh lemon into the glass. The lemon juice adds a zesty and citrusy flavor to the cocktail.

Finally, give the cocktail a gentle stir to combine all the ingredients and garnish with a lemon slice or a cocktail umbrella for a fun touch. Serve your Anchor's Aweigh cocktail chilled and enjoy!
