Lemon Drop Cocktail

What's the difference between a cocktail and a drink? Hell, we don't know! As near as can be said, a drink is alcohol, a mixer, and (or not) ice. A cocktail is something carefully constructed using different ingredients and with finesse. Sometimes, but not always, cocktails are served in stemware, fancy glasses. You be the judge.

Lemon Drop Cocktail

Post by Chowhound »

4 oz vodka
1 oz triple sec
2 oz simple syrup
2 oz lemon juice
1 lemon zest

First, sugar the rim of your glass. Place the sanding sugar in a shallow dish big enough to fit the mouth of your glass in. Wet the edges of the glasses (using either simple syrup or water) and then immediately dip the edge into the sanding sugar, rotating to coat the edge completely. Set aside. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the remaining ingredients. Attach lid and shake well. Divide the lemon drop cocktail between your glasses. Zest two small strip of lemon skin from your lemon, and then twist well. Garnish the glass with the lemon twist and serve.
