assignment #20: emma lauritzen- how to make a lemon drop mocktail

Ive taken up some new hobbies in isolation-one of them being making alcohol free drinks or "mocktails." I make a new one everyday. So far ive made daiquiris, mojitos, pina coladas, etc, but my favorite has been the lemon drop.
First you will need to gather your ingredients and make a simple syrup. To make a simple syrup you will need a shallow pot on medium heat. Then fill this pot with one cup of water, then slowly mix in one cup of sugar. Stir this mixture until the sugar has dissolved and allow to boil on low heat for a couple minutes. Then, place this mixture in a container and allow to chill in the fridge.

Gather the following ingredients:

• your chilled simple syrup 
• lemon juice 
• ice 
• a shaker 
• an oz pourer 
• sugar 
• club soda/ seltzer water 
• two glasses

1. pour sugar onto a small plate, enough to have an even layer 
2. wet the rim of the glass by dipping it into a shallow plate of water 
3. place the glass slightly in the sugar and twist it so that the entire rim is coated in sugar 
4. in a shaker, add ice 
5. pour in 1.5 oz of lemon juice 
6. pour in 1 oz of simple syrup 
7. pour in 3ish oz of seltzer water 
8. cover your shaker and shake it for the duration of half the intro of the song Hotel California (20 seconds)
9. pour the mixture into your glasses over about three ice cubes and enjoy
