Scale

Cocktail Ingredients

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 0.75 oz cranberry juice
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup

Garnish

  • cranberries for garnish
  • rosemary sprig for garnish
  • sugar for rimming


Instructions

  1. Rim the glass. Run the cut side of a lemon along the rim of your glass. Dip the rim into a plate of sugar, coating it evenly. Place the glass in the freezer to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
  2. Mix the cocktail. In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, lemon juice, cranberry juice, and simple syrup. Add ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled, about 15 seconds.
  3. Strain and garnish. Strain the cocktail into your prepped glass. Add a sprig of rosemary and a few cranberries for a festive touch.
  4. Serve. Serve immediately and enjoy your Holiday Lemon Drop cocktail.

Notes

  • For an extra frosty glass, chill your glassware in the freezer for 15 minutes before rimming with sugar.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Lightly muddle rosemary in the shaker for a hint of herbal aroma if desired.
