The lemon drop is without a doubt my favorite cocktail and my go-to drink on hot summer days. This is just a slight variation that I was inspired to create because my kids were picking raspberries from our bushes and throwing them in their lemonade. Tart and sweet, this cocktail is a winner.

- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a standard sized muffin pan with liners. In the mixing bowl of your stand mixer, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time.

Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. To make the frosting, cream butter and sugar in a small mixing bowl. Add lemon juice, vanilla, lemon peel and vodka; beat until smooth. Frost cupcakes and garnish.
Tips:
