Smooth yet zesty, the Lemon Drop delivers a crisp citrus punch with a silky finish, making it both invigorating and dangerously easy to drink. Often garnished with a twist of lemon, this elegant yet approachable cocktail is a favorite for those who love a little tang with their indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 oz lemon
- 1 oz simple syrup
- 2 oz vodka
Instructions
- Squeeze 1 oz of fresh lemon juice into a cocktail shaker.
- Add simple syrup to balance the tartness.
- Pour in vodka—for the best flavor, keep it chilled in the freezer.
- Mix well. While some prefer shaking, I find that using a frother blends the ingredients more smoothly for a silkier texture.
- Strain into a chilled martini glass and enjoy!
- For an elegant touch, rim the glass with sugar to add a delicate sweetness with each sip. Finish with a twist of lemon peel on top, releasing its aromatic oils
