A book extra for The Frog Prince
This delicious recipe figures into the story...
The Lemon Drop cocktail originated in San Francisco, where most of the Frog Prince takes place.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz. Vodka
- 1/2 oz Triple Sec
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp superfine sugar
- Ice cubes, superfine sugar for dipping, twisted peel of lemon
Preparation:
Mix the vodka, Triple Sec, sugar, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice; shake well (supposedly the cocktail is to be shaken 40 times to make sure the sugar is well blended). Pour strained liquor into sugar -rimmed martini glass and garnish with a twisted peel of lemon.
