I recently modified a cocktail recipe so that it better suited the ingredients I had on hand. It soon became my current favorite warm weather cooler. Mmmm.
Lemon Drop
1 shot citrus vodka
1/2 shot triple sec
1/2 shot lemon juice
rounded spoon of powdered sugar
slice of lemon
Rim a lowball with lemon slice and granulated sugar (I prefer the organic kind. It has a hint of molasses flavor.) Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Squeeze the lemon slice into the shaker. Shake well, and pour the contents with icy tipple into the prepared glass.
Including the ice keeps it cold and gives you a little more to sip on. However, if you like this mixer as much as I do, you will have had two or three before you even realize it. Yum!
