Cocktail Inspiration:
The Sugar Plum Lemon Drop plays on the two extreme seasons, combining the refreshing Deep Eddy Lemon vodka in an iconic summer favorite lemon drop with the winter flavors and aromatics of sugar plum. The ginger ale topper pairs perfectly with the taste of plum and lemon without overwhelming either and is a nod to one of Melting Pot’s signature sauces, ginger plum. This sweet cocktail remains balanced to ensure that every sip has all the flavors you could want to celebrate Christmas in July or long for summer months in cold December.
