Drinks With Devon: Lemon Drop Cocktail

I love a good lemon flavored cocktail, especially with spring in full swing and summer swiftly approaching. So we set out to find some sort of lemon, bubbily-ish combination perfect for a hot day/night. With that said, today I bring you the Lemon Drop Cocktail. This lovely blend is not too sweet, not too tart — it’s just right. I think you’ll enjoy this one and be sure to tag #DrinksWithDevon when you mix up the next cocktail! Cheers!

·      
1 ½ ounces lemon vodka
·      
2 ounces FRESH lemon juice (it takes longer, but tastes SO
much better)
·      
Dash of sugar (or sweetener of choice)
·      
2 ounces sparkling water
·      
1 lemon wedge
·      
Sugar for rim
1. To
rim the glass, first rub a lemon wedge around the rim and dip in a small bowl
of sugar.



2. Combine the
lemon vodka, lemon juice, sweetener, and a handful of ice into a shaker. Shake
for 15 seconds. Strain into glass of choice. (If you watch Bar Rescue like
I do, you know this is when you smile while shaking!)



3. Add
a small handful of crushed ice and slowly top with sparkling water.



4.
Garnish with lemon zest and wedge if desired — and you should because it’s
delicious.
5.
Serve and enjoy!
