Raspberry Lemon Drop

A memorable twist on the original lemon drop. My libationer brother, came up with this one. The sweetness of the drink (and there isn't much) comes from the lemon, not the raspberry. Note that both standard vodka and raspberry vodka are used so as to not overwhelm the lemon. If you don't think this drink tastes awesome, then you need to go out and get awesome lessons.

• 6 oz sweetened fresh-squeezed lemon juice (actually 5.5 ounces plus 1/2 oz water to counter the viscosity of the sugar)
• 2 oz good vodka (Chopin, Hangar One, etc.)
• 2 oz. Hangar One Fraser River Raspberry Flavored Vodka (available seasonally in Spring-Summer so stock up!)
• 3/4 oz Cointreau

Shake vigorously over ice and pour into two sugar-rimmed martini glasses. Garnish each with a fresh raspberry.
