Saying food is a big part of life is like saying air is a big part of breathing. Socializing, family life, celebrating, satiating! And once again, our approach to all things food couldn’t be more different. Dinner party for eight (Stasha) or reservations at 8:00pm (Cheryl)? The joy of cooking (Stasha) or the kitchen is closed (Cheryl)? Food for health (Cheryl) or food for life (Stasha)? Either way, we agree everything goes better with a cocktail. So, kick back and relax. We’re diving deep into dining.

Stasha’s Lemon Drop
· 1 ½ oz vodka (I prefer Tito’s Handmade or Ocean)
· ¼ oz Triple Sec (or limoncello if you have it)
· ¾ oz lemon juice (Preferably fresh squeezed)
· 1 thin lemon slice or lemon peel for garnish
· Optional: Sugar for the rim of the glass
Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice.
Shake and strain into a martini glass (some people put sugar on the rim, I do not).
If you used fresh lemon juice, then just use a bit of lemon peel for the garnish.
If you used bottled lemon juice, then squeeze the lemon slice into the drink and use for garnish.
