This one is worth the extra work! I run whole lemons through a Juiceman®, which produces a thick juice that requires diluting equal parts with water. Makes a generous drink I like to put in a fiesta glass.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your Lemon Drop III the best flavor. If you can, try to find organic lemons.
  • Zest the lemons before juicing them. This will help release the essential oils from the lemons and give your cocktail a more intense flavor.
  • Use a good quality vodka. The vodka is the base of your Lemon Drop III, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a vodka that is smooth and has a clean flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the sugar syrup. The sugar syrup is what gives the Lemon Drop III its signature sweetness. If you don't use enough sugar syrup, your cocktail will be too tart.
  • Garnish your Lemon Drop III with a lemon twist. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your cocktail.

Conclusion:

The Lemon Drop III is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and refreshing. If you're looking for a new cocktail to try, the Lemon Drop III is a great option. So next time you're in the mood for a refreshing cocktail, give the Lemon Drop III a try.
