How to Make Lemon Drop
- In a large pitcher, combine the vodka, lemon juice, sugar, and water.
- Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- To prepare the glasses, moisten the rims of your cocktail glasses with water or lemon juice.
- Dip the moistened rims into the granulated sugar to create a sugared rim.
- For an extra-chilled drink, chill the glasses in the freezer for about 1 hour before serving.
- Once chilled, pour the Lemon Drop mixture into the prepared glasses.
- Garnish with a lemon slice or wedge.
- **Lime Drop Variation:** Substitute fresh lime juice for lemon juice. Garnish with lime slices or wedges.
- **Orange Drop Variation:** Substitute Absolut Mandarin (or similar mandarin vodka) for the plain vodka. Replace the lemon juice with ⅛ cup frozen orange juice concentrate and ½ cup of water. Garnish with an orange slice or wedge.
