Ingredients
Prep
- Zest the rind of 1 lemon into 1/4 Cup sugar - blend together and set aside
Lemon Drop Martini
- 3 oz Chilled Citrus Vodka
- 1 oz Grand Marnier
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 oz Triple Sec
- 1 oz Sweet and Sour
- Lemon Drop Candies
Instructions
- Measure all of the ingredients (except the lemon drop candy) into an ice filled cocktail shaker
- Rim your martini glass with a little fresh lemon juice, unless it's a chilled glass - then you don't need the juice.
- Press the rim of the martini glass into the lemon sugar to give it a delicious lemon sugar rim.
- Add 1 lemon drop candy to each martini glass
- Vigorously shake the cocktail shaker for a couple of minutes, you want this super chilled. Ice chips will break off and you will see them in the glass once it's poured. That is perfection.
- Pour into the glasses and enjoy.
Notes
You can garnish with a slice of lemon if you want to get fancy :-)
