My all-time most favorite thing ever, is that first sip of a lemon shake up when you get a mouth full of sugar. I thought nothing could be better than that. And then I grew up and added vodka to it. O. M. G. This must be what heaven tastes like. The vodka is subtle, but it gives it that fun adult kick in the mouth we all know and love. The triple sec adds a bright citrus flavor like no other. Don’t be scared to shake things up a bit (see what a I did there? I’m clever, I know), give this little beauty a try.
