Strawberry Lemon Drop Recipe
The perfect cocktail blend of sweet and salty!
Smooth, Mellow, and Full of Delicious Flavor!
This is the perfect cocktail drink for any occasion. Fresh strawberries and lemons infused together to make a delicious cocktail drink. This is the perfect martini that’s filled with delicious, luscious flavor. My strawberry Hennessy lemon drop cocktail is the perfect cocktail to use for unwinding for the evening. It’s an even better cocktail when hosting events. My strawberry lemon drop cocktail is made with fresh squeezed lemon juice, a strawberry infused purée syrup, simple syrup, and Hennessy.
The flavors combined take this martini to another level. It has the perfect balance! Not too sweet and not too tart, just the perfect balance of both. I recommend using fresh ingredients for this cocktail and don’t skip out on muddling the fruit. It just helps to infuse the flavor 10x more. Yes, you can use the bottled lemon juice but fresh is so much better. Now for the strawberry purée you can make homemade or use the bottle stuff. I only the other hand, am a fan of the Strawberry Real Strawberry Puree Infused Syrup brand. I like the flavor and it tastes pretty good.
Now when it comes to rimming the cocktail glasses you can use sugar or salt. Another option is to use flavored cocktail rimming salt. Twang-A-Rita Cocktail Rimming Salt Blend is a cheap and good brand for martinis and margaritas. They offer a variety of flavors for you to choose from. If you plan on rimming the glasses, I recommend doing that first. It will give salt time to dry on the glasses. For this recipe my alcohol of choice is Hennessy but feel free to switch it out with your favorite vodka. Tito vodka and Absolut are pretty good vodkas to give a try.
Sweet and Tangy comes together in the perfect cocktail!
This strawberry lemon drop cocktail is so delicious and perfect for any occasion.
Full of flavor, this martini will become one of your favorite drinks to indulge in.

Salting a Rim:
- First, rim the cocktail glasses. Run a lime wedge along the rim of the glass cups. (Tip: Keep the glass upside down to avoid the lime liquid from running down in the sides)
- Pour some salt or a flavored cocktail rimming salt blend on a plate. Dip the rim of your glass into the salt or hold the glass at an angle and slowly spin the glass through the salt- coating the rim glass.
- Set the glass aside before pouring the cocktail. This allows the salt to set/dry along the glass rim.
