To make a classic Lemon Drop cocktail, follow these steps:

Ingredients

• 1 ½ ounces vodka
• 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
• ½ ounce triple sec or Cointreau (orange liqueur)

Instructions

1. Prepare the glass: Cut a notch in a lemon wedge and run it around the rim of a martini or coupe glass. Dip the rim into a plate of sugar to coat it evenly.
2. Mix the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, fresh lemon juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Add ice.
3. Shake: Shake well until the mixture is chilled.
4. Strain: Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass.
5. Garnish: Add a lemon twist for garnish.

Enjoy your refreshing, sweet-tart Lemon Drop cocktail!

Optional tips:

• Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
• Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink colder longer.
• Adjust the sweetness by varying the simple syrup amount to your taste.
• You can also muddle lemon wedges with sugar in the shaker for extra zest before adding liquids and ice
