For an extra chill, freeze the lemon wedges for 30 minutes before serving. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Some prefer a tarter shot, while others enjoy a sweeter balance. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice often has a bitter aftertaste. Experiment with flavored vodkas, such as citrus or vanilla, to add a unique twist to your shots.
