Bartender Notes

  • Dip lemon wedges in sugar for great presentation and to give the drinker something to suck on after to reduce any alcohol aftertaste and tame the tart lemon juice.
  • We recommend a good quality vodka to not overpower the lemon flavor, such as Grey Goose or Absolut Citron.
  • Fresh lemon juice is recommend for the best taste, but prepackaged lemon juice will still be super delicious.
  • If you don’t have simple syrup or table sugar, you can use 1 sugar cube or a package of your favorite sugar substitute.
  • Don’t want to use ice then just chill and add cold vodka to your shot.
