Hot Ass Lemon Drop II

Many of you have enjoyed, or at least heard of, our famous Hot Ass Lemon Drop, but you can’t always find Hellfire bitters. Don’t fret. Here’s a slightly different approach to get the same spicy results.

What you need:

1 oz Limoncello SweetShine

1 oz vodka

1 oz lemonade

pinch cayenne pepper

untitled-19-300x200-1-3

First, as with any martini, you’ll want to chill your glass. Simply fill it with ice water before you start building your drink.

Start with some sort of shaker with ice, and add 1 oz Limoncello SweetShine,

1 oz vodka,

and 1 oz lemonade.

untitled-26-300x200-1-2

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, to taste.
