Indulge in citrus bliss with our tantalizing Lemon Drop Martini - a zesty symphony of flavors in every sip. 🍋✨
Ingredients
- Fresh squeezed lemon juice
- good quality vodka
- simple syrup
Instructions
- First you'll make simple syrup - 1 part water, 1 part sugar. In a medium saucepan combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Next, fill shaker with ice
- Add vodka, simple sugar and lemon juice to the shaker. Shake vigorously! 15-20 good shakes!
- Pour into in a chilled glass - cheers!
Sweet tart lemony goodness that's what this cocktail is all about!
Tips from the test kitchen
- Use good vodka
- Use fresh squeezed lemon juice
You want to shake it REALLY well - you want this martini to get super cold - you want it so cold that when you pour it into the martini glass, it forms a light icy film on the top of the martini.

This is my favorite drink! I am so jealous of the access to fresh lemons that you have. I wanted to say I would be over for a martini in about 4 hours but didn't want to scare you. lol
