Mighty Lemon Drop Recipes

RASPBERRY LEMON DROP

Steps:

• Pour the lemonade mix onto a plate. Using a lemon wedge, rim the edge of a cocktail glass with lemon, then dip the glass into the powdered mix to coat the edge of the glass.
• Muddle the lemonade and raspberries in a shaker. Add the vodka, soda and ice and shake. Serve in the lemonade mix-rimmed glass.

FROZEN GINGER LEMON DROPS

Steps:

• Add simple syrup to a blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and garnish with lemon.
• For the syrup:
• Bring water to a low simmer and stir until sugar dissolves.
• Add ginger and mint and allow to steep for 20 minutes. Strain and chill.

SHERRY LEMON DROP

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Microwave until steaming, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
• Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice, and set aside to cool completely. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. (The lemon syrup can be made ahead and stored for up to a week in the refrigerator.)
• To serve, fill a pint glass with ice. Add the sherry and 5 tablespoons of the lemon syrup. Shake until well chilled, then strain into cordial glasses. Serve cold.

BERRY-LICIOUS LEMON DROP

Steps:

• Put lemon wedges and strawberries in a shaker and muddle well. Set aside.
• Combine powdered drink mix with 6 ounces (3/4 cup) of water in a glass and stir to dissolve. Transfer to the shaker.
• Add vodka to the shaker and fill with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into the glass. (If the berries get stuck in the strainer, simply remove them and continue straining.) Enjoy!
