How to make a Lemon Strawberry Shot
For one drink, mix all the ingredients in a shot glass. You can also batch the recipe and pour it over ice into glasses.
Step 1
Pour lemon juice into a shot glass.
Step 2
Add strawberry syrup. To make your own strawberry syrup, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 2 cups chopped strawberries in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Then reduce to medium-low and cook 10 minutes more, or until strawberries break down and syrup thickens. Strain this mixture into a jar for easy storage and allow it to cool before using.
Step 4
Top with vodka and a splash of Triple Sec.
Step 5
Garnish with a lemon peel and enjoy.
