The Friday Cocktail - Raspberry Lemon Drop

Drink Recipes - Cocktails and more

I cruise several cocktail sites each Friday to find a new cocktail to try or highlight for the week. I like to post a picture with each post, just to get you watering your mouth and keep the site looking good. So, when I came across this recipe without a picture from drinkoftheweek.com I wanted to find a picture. Here is the drinkoftheweek.com recipe:

• 2 oz. Vodka
  
• 1/2 oz. Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur
  
• 2 tsp. Lemon Juice
  
• 2 tsp. Sugar
  
• Lemon Slice
  

Moisten the rim of a chilled cocktail glass with a little lemon juice and dip in 1/2 of the sugar to frost. Mix vodka and remaining lemon juice and sugar in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into the cocktail glass. Float the Chambord on top. Drop in a fresh raspberry or two to garnish.

Then I googled Raspberry Lemon Drop to see if I could find a picture, and I came across this drink description which I expect would be much less sweet and probably more to my liking. " mix of Bacardi Limon and Bacardi Razz served with a couple of raspberries in a generously sugar-rimmed glass." Could probably also use lemon and raspberry vodka's instead. Will have to tinker with the proportions.

Cheers!
