Lemongrass Lemon Drop

This week I’m away at a blogging retreat, and tonight I get the pleasure of making and sharing these beautiful drinks with all of the attendees. I’m sharing this recipe with you all a little early so that you can enjoy a little lemongrass lemon drop right along with us – virtually.

Being a Vegas rookie, I’m super excited to meet some amazing bloggers, eat delicious food, and most of all learn the ropes and gain some insight, tips, tricks, and strategies to make Or Whatever You Do even better than it is today.

If you love lemon drop martinis, you are going to LOVE this little twist on it. The lemongrass simple syrup is refreshing and adds unique, light, and fragrant notes to the drink, without overpowering it.

Make sure you put some lemon zest into your sugar rim sugar! That is one of my favorite parts of this drink.

Sugared lemons, sugared rims, and a perfectly sweet and sour mixture of vodka, lemon, and lemongrass simple syrup.
