Lemon Drop

Name: Lemon Drop
Ingredients: 2 oz vodka; ½ oz triple sec; 1 oz simple syrup; 1 oz fresh lemon juice; sugar rim

sour · vodka

Sugared rim and vodka, which is most people's shorthand for a drink nobody's taking seriously. Syrup matching the lemon ounce for ounce is what keeps it a sour rather than candy, and let the rim dry before anything wet gets near it. Whipped vodka turns the whole thing into Key Lime Pie, and I won't be defending that.

Ingredients

2 ozvodka
½ oztriple sec

sugar rim

Method

Coat the rim of a glass with sugar and set aside (let this set up for a few minutes to dry and adhere to the glass). Add ingredients to a shaker and shake with ice. Strain into the prepared glass and enjoy.

Steve’s notes

Variant: Make it with Pinnacle Whipped Vodka and it tastes like Key Lime Pie. Serve with a lime garnish.
