Description

Unlock the secret to a perfectly balanced and juicy lemon drop shot with our easy-to-follow recipe. Learn how to make this classic cocktail at home, from selecting the freshest ingredients to mastering the sugar rim. Ideal for parties, celebrations, or a zesty dessert alternative.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz Vodka (good quality)
  • 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  • ¾ oz Simple Syrup
  • Granulated Sugar (for rimming glasses)
  • Lemon wedge (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Glasses: Run a lemon wedge around the rim of each shot glass, then dip the rims into a plate of granulated sugar.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a shaker, combine the vodka, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup.
  3. Shake Well: Add ice to the shaker, close tightly, and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
  4. Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared shot glasses. Garnish each shot with a lemon wedge and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lemon juice makes all the difference.
  • Chill Your Vodka: Storing your vodka in the freezer beforehand enhances the shot’s smoothness.
  • Don’t Over-Shake: Over-shaking can dilute the shot too much; 15-20 seconds is perfect.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Depending on your lemons’ tartness, you may need to adjust the amount of simple syrup.
  • Serve Immediately: Lemon drop shots are best enjoyed immediately after preparation.
