Classic Lemon Drop

A nicely proportioned Lemon Drop. Here let me take a sip of this one by my elbow just to make sure. Yep - tasty. The only change that I would make - and that only if I were pouring to impress - would be to mix a little sour salt in with the rimming sugar. Sour salt is one of those mystery ingredients you whip out for (as Ann Hodgman calls it) "maximum guest intimidation." And just between you and me, isn't that what entertaining is all about?
