The Lemon Crush is the zesty cousin of the classic Orange Crush, a coastal favorite from Delaware and Maryland shores. While the Orange Crush has long been a summer staple, the Lemon Crush offers a refreshing twist.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz lemon-flavored vodka
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz triple sec
- 1 oz lemon-lime soda (like Sprite)
- 1/2 oz simple syrup (for extra sweetness)
- Crushed ice
- Lemon wedge or twist for garnish
Mix the cocktail: In a shaker, combine lemon-flavored vodka, fresh lemon juice, triple sec, and simple syrup (if using). Shake well.
Serve: Fill a glass with crushed ice and pour the mixture over it. Top with lemon-lime soda and gently stir.
Garnish: Add a lemon wedge or twist for garnish.
