Classic Lemon Drop Martini
A bright and refreshing homemade Classic Lemon Drop Martini, perfect for any occasion.
Equipment
- Martini Glass
- Cocktail Shaker
Ingredients
Martini
- 3 ounces vodka your favorite brand
- 2 ounces fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 ounce triple sec orange liqueur
- 0.5 to 1 ounce simple syrup adjust to your sweetness preference
Garnish
- sugar for rimming the glass
- lemon twist or wedge for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Your Glass: Take a chilled martini glass. Gently rub a fresh lemon slice around the edge of the rim to moisten it. Pour a few tablespoons of sugar onto a small, flat plate. Invert the moistened glass and dip its rim into the sugar, twisting gently to create a beautiful, sugary coating.
- Combine Ingredients: Fill a cocktail shaker generously with ice. Pour in your chosen vodka, the vibrant fresh lemon juice, the triple sec, and your desired amount of simple syrup (making it as sweet or tart as you like).
- Shake to Perfection: Secure the lid tightly on the shaker. Shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds until the shaker is frosty cold. This ensures your martini is perfectly chilled and well-mixed.
- Serve and Garnish: Strain the refreshing mixture directly into your prepared, sugar-rimmed martini glass. Finish with an elegant lemon twist or a fresh lemon wedge as a garnish. Sip and enjoy this bright, homemade cocktail!
