Lemon Drop – A Refreshing Twist with Conniption American Dry Gin
The Lemon Drop gets an elegant, botanical twist with the addition of Conniption American Dry Gin. This vibrant cocktail combines the bright, zesty flavors of limoncello, fresh lemon juice, and a hint of sweetness from simple syrup, perfectly balanced by the smooth citrus and floral notes of Conniption Gin. Finished with a slice of cucumber, this version of the classic Lemon Drop is crisp, refreshing, and delightfully modern.
Conniption American Dry Gin, with its citrus-forward botanicals like juniper, orange peel, and honeysuckle flowers, enhances the tangy lemon flavors while adding a delicate complexity. The cooling cucumber slice adds a refreshing touch, making the Lemon Drop an ideal choice for brunches, sunny afternoons, or sophisticated happy hours.
