A Few Tips:
This is a classic Lemon Drop recipe, but if you want to make your Lemon Drop extra special? Here are a few ways:
• Rim the glass with sugar by running a lemon wedge around the rim, and dipping it in sugar.
• Use honey or maple syrup instead of simple syrup to sweeten it.
• Use Cointreau liqueur instead of Triple Sec, or even Grand Marnier if you want to make it a “Cadillac Lemon Drop.”
• You can use Citron vodka instead of standard vodka if you’d like to add a little more citrus flavor.
