1
Prepare the glass
Start by preparing a chilled cocktail glass. You can chill the glass by filling it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Prepare the sugar rim
On a small plate, spread the granulated sugar. Take a lemon wedge and run it around the rim of the chilled glass. Then, dip the rim of the glass into the sugar, coating it evenly.
3
Mix the cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine the Absolut Citron vodka, Cointreau, and fresh lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and serve
Remove the ice water from the chilled glass. Strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass. Make sure to pour it gently to maintain the sugar rim.
5
Garnish
Finally, garnish your Lemon Drop cocktail with a lemon twist. To create the twist, use a vegetable peeler to cut a thin strip of lemon peel, then twist it over the drink to release its oils before placing it on the rim.
