A refreshing and vibrant Classic Lemon Drop Martini, perfectly balancing sweet and tart flavors with smooth vodka, fresh lemon juice, and a hint of orange liqueur. Easy to make and ideal for any occasion.
Equipment
- Cocktail Shaker
- Martini Glass
Ingredients
- 3 ounces smooth Vodka
- 2 ounces freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1/2 ounce orange Liqueur (like Triple Sec)
- 1/2 ounce Simple Syrup (adjust to your taste, or use a sugar-free alternative for a lighter option, up to 1 ounce)
- few tablespoons Granulated Sugar (for rimming, optional)
- Lemon twist or thin lemon wedge (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prep Your Glass: If you love a sweet-tart sip, moisten the rim of a chilled martini glass with a lemon slice, then gently dip it into a shallow plate of sugar to create a beautifully frosted edge.
- Combine & Chill: In a cocktail shaker, add the vodka, fresh lemon juice, orange liqueur, and your preferred amount of simple syrup. Fill the shaker generously with ice.
- Shake It Up: Secure the lid tightly and shake the mixture vigorously for at least 15-20 seconds. You want that shaker to be frosty cold, ensuring your martini is perfectly chilled and vibrant.
- Serve & Garnish: Strain the perfectly chilled martini into your prepared glass. For a final touch, garnish with a fresh lemon twist or a simple lemon wedge. Enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
