Ingredients
About this cocktail
The Lemon Drop Shot is a vodka shot and a cousin of the Lemon Drop Martini.
It’s true what they say: good things come in small packages. Lively, sweet and zesty all at once, the Lemon Drop Shot is the ultimate shot to serve on a tray at parties.
How to make
-
Use a Paring Knife to cut one Lemon in half. Set one half aside for Lemon Juice and use the other half to cut Lemon Wedges.
-
Rub a Lemon Wedge around the rim of a Shot Glass to coat it in Lemon Juice.
-
Pour a generous amount of Caster Sugar onto a Small Plate. Gently dip and twist the rim of your Shot Glass into the sugar until it’s fully coated.
-
Use a Citrus Elbow to squeeze the Lemon Half into a Small Pouring Jug to produce Fresh Lemon Juice. Measure and pour the Fresh Lemon Juice into the Boston Shaker.
-
Fill the Shaker with Ice Cubes.
-
Shake vigorously for about 10 seconds, then separate the Boston Shaker.
-
Place a Hawthorne Strainer over the larger tin of the Boston Shaker. Double strain the mixture by pouring it through a Fine Mesh Strainer into the smaller tin.
-
Pour the mixture into a Chilled Sugar-Rimmed Shot Glass.
-
Garnish by placing a Lemon Wedge directly on top of the Shot Glass.
