How to Make Lemon Drop Cocktail

  1. Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of a chilled martini glass to moisten. Dip the rim in a shallow dish of sugar, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add 2 ounces lemon vodka, 1 ounce fresh lemon juice, and ¾ ounce simple syrup (or ½ ounce sugar).
  3. Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
  4. Strain the cocktail into the prepared sugar-rimmed glass.
