  1. I love lemons and I love this cocktail !!! Rather than rimming my glass with sugar, I broke up lemon Jolly Ranchers in a bag with a hammer. To get the pieces the consistancy of sugar, I pulsed them in the food processor. I've done this with all flavors of J.R.'s to use on many different drink recipes( my favorite is whatermelon on a watermelon martini). Happy imbibing!
     
  2. Wow! I love Lemon Drops and these were really good, but I must be a light weight. I made them with 3 cups of Vodka the first time, but they were a little to potent. The second time I made these I backed it off to 2 1/2 cups and they were perfect. I can't imagine what they would be like with 4 cups of vodka!
     
  3. These are my abslute favorite! I usually use Absolut Citron, but also enjoy with Skyy vodka. Thanks for posting!
     
  4. Wow! Very intense lemon flavor. This will "grow hair on your chest" as my pappy always said. Nice after spending 4 days in the rain with my boys.....
