Apr. 9, 2006 - Lemon Drop Martini

Lemon Drop Martini

This is a favorite of all my students as well as one of my favorites.  The parts in the recipe refer to any size you want.  If you are making one martini you might choose 1 tablespoon to equal a part or for a party it might by 1/2 cup per part.

 

Superfine sugar

Lemon wedge

6 parts lemon vodka

2 parts strained fresh lemon juice

1 part triple sec

1 part simple syrup (see below)

Ice cubes

Lemon Twist


Run a small wedge of lemon around the rim of each martini glass and then dip in superfine sugar.  Fill shaker 2/3 full with ice and add the vodka, lemon juice, triple sec and simple syrup.  Shake until very cold and pour into prepared glass.  Twist a strip of lemon peel over the drink and serve.

 

Simple Syrup:   Stir equal parts of water and sugar together in a small saucepan.  Bring to a boil, stirring often to dissolve the sugar.  Boil 30 seconds.  Cool completely.  Keeps in the refrigerator for several weeks.
