How To: Mix the Lemon Drop

Mixologist Chris McMillian walks us through the preparation of the Lemon Drop. The Lemon Drop is a classic cocktail which is both sweet and sour and is sure to go down smooth. Originally it was a chilled shot of vodka with a sugar saturated lemon but it has evolved into the delicious drink which it now is.

Ingredients:
2 oz Skyy Vodka
1 oz simple syrup
1 oz fresh lemon juice

Directions:
Chill a martini glass, circle glass with lemon juice.
Place powdered sugar on rim of glass
Shake with ice and strain into martini glass.

The lemon drop is both tart and sweet and is an easy drink to master on your road to becoming a mixologist!
