On the Rocks: The Lemon Drop.


The Lemon Drop is one of my personal favorites (the cocktail as well as the shot). There’s just something about that sweet-tart shock that gets me every time.

Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 oz vodka
– 3/4 oz lemon juice
– 1/2 oz Cointreau
– 1 teaspoon simple syrup (2:1)

Shake over ice, strain into sugar rimmed cocktail glass, garnish with lemon twist. Serves one.
