A lemon drop shot is a sweet and tart vodka shot that tastes strikingly similar to the popular lemon drop candies! All you have to do is combine lemon juice, simple syrup, and vodka, then shake with ice and strain it into a shot glass. It will make your lips pucker but in the best way!

Instructions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
Strain into a shot glass and garnish with a lemon wedge, if desired.
Notes
For the best flavor, I recommend using freshly squeezed lemon juice.
You can also rub a lemon wedge around the edge of the shot glass and dip the glass in granulated sugar for a sugar rim if desired.
If using a lemon-flavored vodka like Absolute Citron, you can reduce the lemon juice and increase the vodka for the same great taste with more of a punch!
