Ingredients
Lemon Drop Shot
- 1½ ounces lemon flavored vodka, chilled
- 1 ounce fresh squeezed lemon juice
- ½ ounce simple syrup
Sugared Rim
- 3 small slices fresh lemon, approximately 1-inch triangles (divided into 1 and 2 slices)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- To rim the two 1.5-ounce shot glasses with the sugar, you will use one of the small lemon slices to run along the top rim of each shot glass. Place the granulated sugar in a small shallow dish, then dip the lemon juice-rimmed shot glass into the granulated sugar. Add a garnish of a fresh lemon slice from the remaining two lemons to the rim of each sugar-rimmed shot glass. Set aside.
- To a cocktail shaker with ice (approximately 1 cup), add the chilled lemon-flavored vodka, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and shake for 15-20 seconds or until very cold.
- Pour the lemon drop shots into the sugar-rimmed shot glasses, being careful not to get any liquid on the sugar rim. Enjoy!
Notes
- If I know that I will be making these shots for a party or gathering, then I will juice a few lemons and store the freshly squeezed lemon juice in the refrigerator to keep it chilled.
- I recommend storing your lemon-flavored vodka in the freezer all the time. It will not freeze, but it will stay really cold, so you will not have to use as much ice when making your shots and cocktails.
- You can easily double or triple this lemon shots recipe if you are entertaining a crowd.
