Lemon Drop Cocktail

Probably the best Lemon Drop I have ever tasted, the perfect blend of sweet and tart, with a kick from the Vodka.

  When first experimenting with this recipe, adapted from Ina Garten,  I felt that the level of vodka was too high, but it turned out to be perfect.  This cocktail is very easy to drink, so you have been warned, be careful.

Ingredients:

2 Cups frozen Vodka

1/2  Cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

1/2  Cup Superfine Sugar*

1.  Sugar the rim of 4 (chilled) martini glasses, by pouring sugar onto a plate, cut 1 lemon into wedges and rub a lemon wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into the sugar.

2.  Combine the Vodka, lemon juice  and sugar.

3. Pour into cocktail shaker with ice and shake until mixed and chilled.
