My wife’s favorite flavor is lemon, so almost everywhere we go, she looks for food or drink that has lemon included in it. About 3 years ago, she went on a search for the best lemon drop martini and she tried it in places all over the country and has decided to create this recipe.

Lemon Drop Ingredients

2 ounces of Citron Vodka

2 ounces of your favorite limoncello

Lemon verbena sugar

juice of 1/2 lemon

1/2 teaspoon of simple syrup

Ice

Lemon Drop Martini preparation

First, get all of your ingredients ready to go and place your martini glass in the freezer for 15-20 minutes

Start by cutting your lemon in half on cutting board with a towel

Fill your shaker with ice. Crushed ice is preferred.

Using a juicing tool, put the juice of half a lemon into the shaker with ice.

Add lemon flavored vodka. Julie prefers Absolut Citron.

Add limoncello. Pick your favorite limoncello for this part.

Add simple syrup to the shaker

Pull your frozen martini glass out of your freezer.

What is Lemon Verbena sugar? Well it is made by All-Star Organics and you can buy it online. I really think this ingredient makes this drink unique.

Pour some lemon verbena sugar into a container that you will be able to dip your martini glass into to coat the edge. We are using a plastic top from a storage container.

With the leftover lemon from the earlier step, coat the outside rim of the martini glass.

Take the coated martini glass and rotate it through the lemon verbena sugar as to coat the outside of the glass.

Place the top on the shaker and thoroughly shake the mixture.

Pour the mixture into the coated martini glass.

Finish with a slice of lemon as garnish.

Bottoms Up and Bon Appetit!
