Sweetart (Lemon drop alternative)

This is one of my favorite cocktails. It's basically a lemon drop made with Raspberry Vodka. here is the basic recipe as a reminder:

In a shaker juice one whole fresh lemon.

Add 1 Tablespoon of sugar or 1oz simple syrup

add 1 Cup of ICEAdd 1oz of triplesec (Hiram Walker preferred)

Add 2oz of Vodka (HangerOne rapsberry only!). 3 oz if you are in the mood

Shake vigorously

strain into Martini "up" glass

garnish with lemon peel and/or raspberry

Notes: YOU MUST USE HANGERONE RASPBERRY VODKA. If this is too tart for you (will depend on the lemons) add more sugar or more triple sec. If it's too sweet add more vodka or more lemon. Shaking should break up the ice and freeze the drink. It's also a good idea to add some ice into the "up" glass before you start mixing. This will give the glass a chance to cool down. Lastly, if you are really good, you should strained your drink so that there are just small bits of ice floating on the top.
