Yield 1 cocktail
Test Kitchen Approved
A strawberry lemon drop takes the classic flavor combo of lemons and strawberries and gives it a sweet, boozy kick.

Ingredients

  • 3 fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1-1/2 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more for the rim
  • Ice cubes
  • 1-1/2 ounces vodka
  • 1/4 ounce triple sec
  • Sugar, for the rim
  • Lemon wheel or sliced strawberries, for garnish

Directions

  1. Place strawberries and lemon juice in a glass; muddle until strawberries are smashed. Strain into a separate container, discarding the strawberry solids.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes about 3/4 of the way full. Add juice mixture, vodka and triple sec. Shake until the cocktail shaker is cold and icy on the outside, 15-20 seconds.
  3. Dip the rim of a martini or coupe glass into lemon juice, then sugar to coat. Pour cocktail into the prepared glass. Garnish with a lemon wheel or strawberry slices, if desired. Serve immediately.
