Ingredients

  • 2 ounces vanilla vodka
  • 2 ounces lemon curd (recipe below)
  • ½ ounce fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake for about 10-12 seconds until nice and cold.
  • Pour through wide strainer into a cocktail glass of choice. Serve immediately and cheers!

Notes

  • Using a chilled glass is best. You can either place the glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes or fill the glass with ice and water 10 minutes before serving the cocktail.
  • For garnish, I would suggest a lemon peel twist or lemon slice.
  • When adding ice to your cocktail shaker, be careful not to add too much since a lot of the ice is going to melt into the cocktail. I would say no more than ½ cup.
  • Because lemon curd and vanilla vodka are both sweet, this cocktail is pretty sweet as well. If you are looking to tone down the sweet factor, add another ½ oz. of lemon juice or use regular vodka or citrus vodka.
  • Cocktails are always best when you use FRESH lemon juice.
