Lemon Drop

The Lemon Drop was intended to represent the flavor of the Lemon Drop candies, which are essentially just citric acid and sugar. So while you may often see triple sec listed as an ingredient for the Lemon Drop, and while it may in fact result in a "better" drink, it isn't an appropriate ingredient for this cocktail since the lemon drop candies don't include any orange flavoring.

Lemon Drop

1 1/2 ounces citron vodka
3/4 ounce lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar

Garnish: Lemon wheel

Shake with ice. Strain into a sugar rimmed cocktail glass.
