I love a lightly sweet but bold flavored cocktail\u2014and that’s exactly what this lemon drop martini recipe offers. If you’ve shied away from lemon drop martinis in the past because you feared they would taste too sweet, then I highly recommend mixing one up at home. You can easily control the sweetness by adjusting the simple syrup<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best glassware for a lemon drop is a martini glass<\/a>. You can also use a coupe glass<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like a classic martini,<\/a> you can make a lemon drop martini with gin or vodka. Both work well and I’ve noted this in the recipe card below, but when I make lemon drop martinis I usually use vodka myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake for 10-15 seconds until well-chilled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour into a chilled cocktail glass and serve immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can garnish a lemon drop martini with a sugared rim, a slice of lemon, a lemon twist, lemon wedge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn to make a mocktail version of a lemon drop martini. This is one of my favorite mocktails<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are keeping it non-alcoholic, I highly recommend Seedlip spirits<\/a>. For this lemon drop martini, I usually use their Grove 42<\/a> (citrus) flavor. Use this to replace the vodka and citrus liquor and otherwise use the original recipe with the same ratios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In a small saucepan combine equal parts granulated sugar and water. Simmer on medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once the syrup has cooled store it in a glass jar in the refrigerator. Get the full instructions for simple syrup<\/a> or honey simple syrup<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ingredients for a Lemon Drop Martini are vodka (or gin), orange liqueur and lemon juice and simple syrup. <\/p> <\/details> Choose a smooth, high quality vodka such as Grey Goose or Titos. You may also use a flavored vodka such as Citron or lemon flavored vodka to enhance the citrus flavor. <\/p> <\/details> <\/div>\n\n\n\nIngredients in a Lemon Drop Martini<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
