Ingredients

  • 3 ounces lemon vodka (or use plain)
  • 2 ounces triple sec liqueur
  • 4 ounces lemonade (I like Simply Lemonade)
  • 1 lemon, juiced (reserve squeezed lemon halves for rim)
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup crushed ice for shaking

Instructions

For the Lemon Drops:

  • Place the vodka, triple sec, lemonade, and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker (see notes).
  • Add crushed ice (or ice cubes).
  • Place lid on shaker and shake well. Set aside.

For the sugared rim:

  • Rub the squeezed lemon around the rim of two martini glasses.
  • Place sugar on a plate. Run the rim of the glasses through the sugar, turning to coat all the way around (just the rim or it gets really sticky).
  • Strain the Lemon Drop mixture into the two prepared martini glasses.
  • Serve and enjoy responsibly!

Notes

If you don't have a cocktail shaker you can use any jar with a lid.  Simply shake and strain.
