A zesty and refreshing cocktail that perfectly balances sweet and sour.
The Lemon Drop is crafted with our award-winning Holy Grass Vodka, Limoncello, triple sec, and fresh lemon juice for a bright citrus burst. Lightly sweetened to taste and served in a frosted glass rimmed with lemon sherbet and sugar, it’s a fun, vibrant serve that’s as elegant as it is uplifting.
Ingredients
- 50ml Holy Grass Vodka
- 25ml Limoncello
- 25ml Triple Sec or Cointreau
- 25ml Fresh lemon juice
- Sugar syrup (to taste)
- Garnish : Sugar, lemon, sherbet and mint
Recipe
To frost the glasses…
- Squeeze some lemon juice onto one saucer and some caster sugar mixed with lemon sherbet on another saucer
- Dip the rim of your glass into the lemon juice and then into the sugar and sherbet to coat
To make the cocktail…
- Put everything apart from the sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker with cubed ice and shake well
- Try a wee taste – you can add sugar syrup to sweeten or more lemon juice to add sour notes
- Shake again once you’ve made your adjustments and then strain into the glass, being careful not to wash off the frosting
- Garnish with a floating thin slice of lemon and a mint leaf
Make sure you taste this cocktail as you make it, as all Limoncellos have a different level of sweetness. You can also make your own Limoncello.
