Lemon Drop Daiquiri

     Sitting in a bar the other day, a group of ladies on a bachelorette party, sat down at the bar and ordered the classic vodka cocktail called a lemon drop.  Thinking about this as I watched the bartender fix them, I thought this mike make a really good and simple daiquiri.  I headed back to the aft deck bar on the boat and went to work.  It has actually turned out to be a really tasty and refreshing cocktail.  It is a sweet-tart citrusy refreshing cocktail that lends itself very well to the hot weather that has suddenly been set upon us.  This is a great addition to your summer cocktail menu.
