I have a variation on the Lemon Drop. I call it a Cherry Lemon Drop or a Cherry Bomb.

1 part fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 part maraschino cherry juice (preferable stored in the frig)
1 part vodka (I use lemon Citron, stored in the freezer)
1 part Cointreau (I also store this in the freezer)

Shake with ice in a shaker.

Serve in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a cherry. If you want it to be "lighter", put crushed ice in the martini glass first.

Tasty and very dangerous. Locally, they sell the maraschino cherry juice.
