Lemon Drop Martini Recipe

Today I'm sharing the recipe for a Lemon Drop martini - I really love these! I make mine very sour with just a little bit of simple syrup - they are great paired with seafood or grilled chicken or for enjoying by themselves.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz lemon vodka
• 2 oz lemon juice
• 1/4 oz simple syrup
• Rimming sugar (you can use regular sugar to rim the glass, but a rimming sugar designed to be used for cocktails works best)
• 1 cup crushed ice

Rim the edges of a martini glass with the sugar. To rim the glass, rub a lime or lemon on the edge of the glass. Spread the rimming sugar out on wax paper and then rub the edges of the glass with the sugar. 

Next, combine the vodka lemon juice, simple syrup, and ice in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Strain the drink into the rimmed martini glass. You can put in a few pieces of the ice if you want the drink to stay colder longer.

Enjoy!
