To make a delicious Lemon Drop Martini, you will need the following ingredients:
2 ounces of vodka
1 ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 ounce of simple syrup
Lemon twist for garnish
Ice cubes
Superfine sugar for rimming the glass
Now, let's go through the steps to make a perfect Lemon Drop Martini:
Start by rimming the martini glass with superfine sugar. To do this, take a lemon wedge and run it along the rim of the glass. Then, dip the rim into a plate of superfine sugar, rotating gently to coat the entire rim. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes, vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This will ensure that the ingredients are well mixed and chilled.
Once you're done shaking, open the shaker and strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
For an extra touch, you can garnish the martini with a lemon twist. Simply take a piece of lemon peel and twist it over the drink to release the essential oils. Then, place the twist on the rim of the glass or float it in the drink.
And there you have it! A refreshing and tangy Lemon Drop Martini ready to be enjoyed. Cheers!
