Moon, Mars and Lemon Drops

Tonight is a full moon. Get out and watch, Mars is at its closest to the Moon. It is an incredibly bright red toddler-sized dot, next to it's big round mother. At some point during the night, it should even be eclipsed.

Last night we finally found an satisfying recipe of Lemon Drop - a supposedly "girly" cocktail invented in the 70s in San Francisco. It is decadent and delicious, so I thought I'd share. The trick is the superfine sugar - which can be made in a pestle and mortar out of regular sugar.
1 and 1/2 ounce (or whatever your dose is...) of vodka
1 ounce Cointreau
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
Add all ingredients to the shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Shake 40 times to get the sugar dissolved. Serve in glasses with a rim of the same sugar. The Délots of all genders loved it.
