I got off of drill earlier than expected, and since this morning’s wakeup was 4:00 AM and tomorrow’s is 3:30 AM, I decided to devote the rest of the day to drinking lemon drops. Here’s the recipe:
In a cocktail shaker, combine the following:
1.5 oz. vodka (preferably Grey Goose or another brand of a similar quality)
1.5 oz. lemon juice
.5 oz. sugar syrup or to taste
2 ice cubes
Shake and pour into martini glass, top with club soda.
I’ve had three in a very short time and am making ample use of the backspace key, as my copyeditor instincts continue to override the alcohol.
