Lemon Drop

Cocktail (Martini Glass)

Shaker Tin

Lemon Vodka (or regular) 1 1/2 oz

Triple Sec 1/2 oz

Lemon Juice 3/4 oz

Sugar 1 teaspoon

Lemon Wedge

Fill shaker with ice and add Vodka, lemon juice, Triple Sec, and sugar. Shake vigorously and strain into a sugar rimmed cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon wedge.

This drink can also be served as a shot with equal parts Vodka and lemon juice, shaken with 1 teaspoon of sugar, and strained into a shot glass.

I first tried this drink after blowing several hundred dollars playing cards. Not only did I feel better after having had a couple of these, I felt like returning to the tables to continue the fight. With renewed confidence I was sure that I would come out ahead by the end of the night!

That's when I lost the remainder of my money. I haven't had a Lemon Drop since that day.
