Lemon Drop Martini
Posted on Thursday, June 18, 2009 in Ben's Recipes
By far the most popular martini at Ben’s is the Lemon Drop. Some customers are skeptical because the name suggests a very sour creation. But more than 90% will order another one. Learn this drink.
- If you don’t have frozen martini glasses, fill one with ice and water while you make the drink.
- Fill a shaker completely full of ice.
- Add 1.75 oz of citrus vodka.
- Add .5 oz of Triple Sec. Any brand will do.
- Add a splash of bottled Sweet & Sour. I use Finest Call.
- Add a liberal amount of regular sugar.
- Shake 10 times. Wake it up, don’t put it to sleep.
- Rim the martini glass with sugar.
- Strain into your glass and serve with a healthy lemon wedge.
If you don’t have citrus vodka, feel free to use any vodka. But, squeeze some fresh lemon wedges in the shaker to cut the liquor.
