Lemondrop Martini
Ingredients:
juice of 2 lemons
3 oz. vodka
2 oz. simple syrup
ice
Procedure:
1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
3. Add lemon juice, vodka, and simple syrup.
4. Shake vigourously.
5. Strain into martini glasses rimmed with sugar, garnish with a twist.
You may need to adjust your mix slightly depending on the tartness/juicyness of your lemons.
Serves 2.
Simple Syrup
In a small sauce pan, bring 1 c. sugar and 1 c. water to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
You can store it in the fridge for a bit, but it does tend to mold quickly if you leave it out. Best to make it fresh before your party.
Lazy Girl Version
After the first dozen lemons, I got bored of the procedure and started making my lemondrops in a pitcher instead of in a cocktail shaker, pouring them into my guests’ glasses complete with ice. On a hot day folks drink them fast enough that the ice doesn’t have much time to melt and weaken the drink.
