Lemon Drop Cocktail Party

I have incredible friends who have been involved with their children’s school and in the community and year after year  always step forward to host fund raisers.  Last week, Rosemary and Carolyn hosted a Lemon Drop cocktail party and raised a lot of money for the high school athletic program.  I was happy to make several appetizers and bring  them over and help set up.  It was the perfect cocktail for a beautiful sunny afternoon.  We mixed the fresh lemon and orange juice with the citron vodka and simple syrup ahead of time and put it in a beautiful drink dispenser.  The bartender (aka my nice brother) just had to rim the martini glasses with superfine sugar, put some ice in a shaker, fill the shaker with the lemon drop mixture and pour it into the glasses.  For flower arrangements, we filled tall glass vases with fresh lemons and picked hydrangeas from Carolyn’s garden.  It was a lot of fun.  Click here for the complete menu….
