Lemon Drop Shots

  4.8 – 13 reviews  

There will never be enough, which will be the biggest problem with this apple French toast casserole. My wife, son, and I can easily consume the entire 11×7-inch pan that it produces. Quick, simple, and delicious to the max. To taste, drizzle maple syrup and confectioners’ sugar on top.

Made with Absolut vodka. Nice little drink but I like to double it for a bigger drink.

Yummy good and quick, too.

I took equal parts of both fresh squeezed &/or store bought lemon juice & Absolute Citron, mixed it in a metal jigger with ice & the appropriate amount of sugar (depending on how much lemon juice I use). Then shake jigger for several seconds & pour it right into rocks glasses (that already have sugared rims & filled with ice). Came out excellent!! The key is to keep shaking your mixture & quickly pour BEFORE all undesolved sugar settles to the bottom of your jigger. You want it to pour along with the rest of your mixture. Getting the grainy texture of undesolved sugar in your drink & in your mouth is part of what makes these larger shots so delicious! You don’t need her. Mine are perfect without! Serve with a small swizzle stick aka cocktail straw. But if I had a choice I’d go for the lemon drop martini. The triple sec or simple syrup is easier to use a sugared lemon wedge as a chaser.

Subbed in simple syrup for the sugar to deal with the dilution problem with the sugar turned out really good

my tree was loaded with lemons..so i made lemon drop shots…yes the sugar fell to bottom but i made more and didn’t have to add more sugar..win…win…

I used dextrose (corn sugar) added directly to my fresh squeezed meyer lemon juice. It’s like powder sugar and dissolves quickly. I also substituted erythritol for the sugar to dip my meyer lemon slices into. Great shots!!

We liked it but I don’t know if it was worth squeezing the lemons for this. I may make them again using simple syrup not sugar. The sugar sinks and sits at the bottom of the glass.
Yvonne Gomez
Used simple syrup instead of sugar but definitely great!
Michael Sandoval
Not bad. It’s not worth juicing the lemons for though. And the sugar goes right to the bottom of the shot glass. Next time, use lemon juice and I’ll warm it and melt the sugar in the juice first. I only made 2 shots.

My favorite shot. My best friend and I used to do these all the time when we were younger. Now it will be my memorial shot for her

1.21.17 It really does taste like the candy. The sugar-coated lemon wedge really tames the tart lemon juice.
