Remember when lemon drops were the "go to" shots at the bar? This recipe has upgraded the lemon drop shot by making three kinds of lemonade — classic, mango, and strawberry— and transforming the shooter into a full-sized cocktail. The three different kinds of lemonade are layered to create a stunning ombre effect. It's the perfect cocktail for summertime. Or any day that's sunny! No one will be mad if you make these before Memorial Day. To make the mango and strawberry mixtures, just blend fruit with vodka, lemonade, and ice.

This drink was inspired by the memories of taking lemon drop shots back in the day at bars with friends. It turns the boring shot into something beautiful you can make at home. Mango, strawberry (pink) lemonade, and regular lemonade come together to create a fun, boozy lemonade that anyone can make. The secret is to chill each layer until its ready to be poured into the glass, which keeps the layers separate, but equal in the quest to booze things up. It also makes them slushy and therefore way more fun.
