This coming weekend is Labor Day Weekend, I can’t wait! Three day weekends are always the best, especially if most of your classes are on Monday! With thinking about this shot, I wanted to do an ‘all white’ shot but I couldn’t think of one (if you have any ideas, leave me a comment and I will make it next week’s shot). Then I thought that a big part of the weekend had to do with grilling out on the BBQ. As tempting as a bacon shot sounds, I think I’ll go with something a little easier and more commonly ordered at the bars. This week’s shot of the week (good from Monday, August 30 – Sunday, September 5) is the Lemon Drop.

Lemon Drop

• 1/2 oz Vodka
• 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
• 1 sugar cube

Now, I know there are a lot of ways that this shot is done. With this recipe, you muddle the sugar cube and shake it up with the vodka and lemon juice. Another recipe would have you use an ounce of vodka and a splash of Lemon Juice, while putting the sugar around the rim of the glass. Then there is my personal favorite – regardless the proportions of vodka and lemon juice – after taking the shot, suck on a lemon slice that is covered in sugar. This shot is available at most bars in Marquette, enjoy!
