Lemon Drop Ingredients

Method

Lemon Drop Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by rimming your serving glass with sugar. To do this, run a lemon wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into a plate of sugar until well coated. Set the glass aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, triple sec, house lemonade, and flavored syrup (if using).

  3. 3

    Shake It Up

    Fill the cocktail shaker with ice and securely close it. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. If you prefer it neat, you can serve it without ice.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a lemon wedge on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.
