Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of Vodka should I use?
You can use any vodka you’d like. I typically like a good quality vodka. You can also use a flavored vodka such as a citrus vodka if you’d prefer.

Things to Note:

• You can skip the simple syrup and simply place a sugar cube in each shot glass, if you would like it sweeter or to change things up. If you do this, increase the lemon juice to 4 ounces in place of the simple syrup.
• If your ingredients are already chilled, don’t worry about shaking it with ice. However, if it needs to be ice cold, shake with ice, but do it lightly or it will froth up. You can also use cold vodka and pre-chill it beforehand.
• For another version, you can also replace the simple syrup with 2 ounces of lemon lime soda.
• Be sure to coat the rims of your shot glasses before adding the liquid, if that’s the route you’re taking.
• The size of shot glasses can vary from 1.25 ounces to 3.5 ounces. So, be aware of the size of your shot glasses and adjust the recipe as needed.

How to Make Lemon Drop Shots

In a shaker or glass (whatever you have on hand works), combine the vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Stir or shake lightly to mix.

If desired, dip the rims of the shot glasses in lemon juice and then in the loose sugar to coat them.

Divide the mixture between 4-5 shot glasses and top with a lemon wedge, if desired.

Serve and Enjoy!
