LemonDrops: How to get sugar to melt?

Did you heat it up? Depending on the sugar's makeup, you'll have to heat it to at least 100 degrees C before it will melt.
 
You can use either superfine sugar or dissolve the sugar in water first to make a simple syrup. Drinks that have a lot of soda or juice as filler the simple syrup method is okay. For a lemon drop using superfine sugar will turn out better.
 
You're suppose to use a cube of sugar thats not gonna dissolve right away. That's why its called a Lemon Drop. using simple syrup turns it into a vodka sour
 
much easier if you heat 1 part water and dump 1 part (by volume) sugar into it and let it dissolve, then cool to room temp.
 
according to standard Material Safety Data Sheets, you have to heat the drink up to 320 - 367F in order to melt the sucrose.

Or the fact that it is mixed in a solvent means your aren't melting it.
