Lemon Drop Extraordinaire

Name: Lemon Drop Extraordinaire
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 2 oz Vodka; 1 oz Cointreau® Orange Liqueur; 2 oz Lemon Juice

Bright Meyer lemon juice and sweet Cointreau lift a clean vodka base into a tart, zesty sip balanced by a sparkling sugared rim. It pours a pale, slightly cloudy yellow and looks elegant in a chilled cocktail glass with a curled lemon peel. Worth trying if you enjoy lively, citrus-forward sours that are easy to drink and impressive to serve.
