The
classic lemon drop actually involves putting the
lemon wedge along with a
sugar cube into the
shot. Then
float some
Bacardi 151 on top of it all. Apply
fire and the
sugar will
carmelize making a tasty and slightly
warm mixture.
When I was bartending this was my shot for birthday boys/girls. Pouring the Bacardi 151 so that it splashes all over the bar also create an impressive pyrotechnic effect and helps to ensure proper tipping.
