Lemon Drop a la Jorge

On Thursday, May 31 of 2007, Cristina sampled a Lemon Drop at Italianissimo in Woodinville and loved it. She wanted it at her wedding on June 3rd. Bops and I assured her she would, and we spoke with Jorge, the bartender.

Simple Syrup:
2:1 sugar to water

Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat and add sugar. Stir until it's all totally disolved. Cool.

Sweet and Sour:
2-3:1 Simple Syrup to lemon juice

This is where the flavor really gets set. Make sure the mixture is a tasty combination of sweet and sour.

Lemon Drop
2oz Sweet and Sour
1/4 Lemon
1 tsp. sugar
2oz Absolut Citron

Put all ingredients in shaker with crushed ice. Muddle and strain into glass with sugared rim.
