Lemon Drop Shooter

We were on the Golden Princess last month, and really liked the Lemon Drop Shooter. We have tried to make it at home, but can't figure out all of the ingredients. Can anyone help?

This is probably the easiest to answer as there are only two ingredients.
Here's the recipe.

Lemon Drop Shooter

2 oz. Vodka
1 slice Lemon dipped in sugar

Serve Vodka and sugar dipped lemon separately.
Lemon is to be sucked right after Vodka is drunk.

If you have ever had a lemon drop candy as a child this drink will surely bring back memories! This drink proves what one can invent when totally bored and full access to a stocked bar!


Enjoy!
