How to Make a Lemon Drop

One sip of this citrus delight will have you coming back for more.

Some lemon drop recipes call for extra sugar or simple syrup, but I personally think the cointreau (or triple sec!) is sweet enough and compliments the sour lemon flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 ounces vodka

  • 1 ounce cointreau

  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • lemon peel, for garnish

Steps:

  1. Add ice and club soda to your cocktail glass to chill.

  2. In a shaker, combine vodka, cointreau, lemon juice and ice. Seal and shake 10-15 seconds to chill.

  3. Discard ice and club soda from the glass, strain the cocktail into the chilled glass. Express the lemon peel oils over the glass, and enjoy!
