Emily LawrenceFor when those visitors like Dumbledore drop in unannounced, this drink is a perfect crowd-pleaser. Acidic and fun, the addition of sherbet adds a sweet note to this bright, mouth-puckering cocktail.
Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Add vodka, triple sec, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Shake vigorously and strain into prepared martini glass.
Garnish with a slice of lemon and sherbet.
Notes
Simple syrup can be made by combining equal parts water and sugar in a pot and dissolving it over low heat. Cool syrup before use. Store in a squeeze bottle for easy access.
This is an alcoholic drink and is not intended for minors. A mocktail could be made by replacing the vodka with lemon-lime soda and the triple sec with a splash of orange juice.
